My father always promised us that we would live in France |
| [00:17.210] |
We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance |
| [00:24.860] |
We lived in Ohio then, he worked in the mines |
| [00:32.920] |
On his dreams like boats we knew we'd sail in time |
| [00:52.900] |
All my sisters soon were gone to Denver and Cheyenne |
| [01:00.950] |
Marrying their grownup dreams the lilacs and the man |
| [01:08.970] |
I stayed behind the youngest still only danced alone |
| [01:17.250] |
The colors of my father's dreams faded without a sound |
| [01:37.690] |
And I live in Paris now my children dance and dream |
| [01:45.300] |
Hearing the ways of a miner's life in words they've never seen |
| [01:53.190] |
I sail my memories of home like boats across the seine |
| [02:01.710] |
And watch the Paris sun set in my father's eyes again |
| [02:43.970] |
My father always promised us that we would live in France |
| [02:52.190] |
We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance |
| [03:00.100] |
I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine |
| [03:08.790] |
And watch the Paris sun as it sets in my father's eyes again |
