Taking on water,
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory,
A fantasy
The wind carries
Into white water,
Far from the islands
Don't you know you're


[ Chorus ]
Never going to get to France
Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?


Walking on foreign grounds,
Like a shadow,
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder,
Stories unfold, you're
Searching for sanctuary
You know you're


[ Repeat Chorus ]


I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?


[ Repeat Chorus ]


I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?


[ Repeat Chorus ]


Never going to get to France.
Never going to...
Never going to get to France.
Never going to...


Never going to get to France.
Never going to...
