To France (1984) Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly



Single To France (1984)

 

Este é um grande tema de Mike Oldfield baseado na tragédia de Mary Stuart, rainha da Escócia, que foi decapitada, sem conseguir escapar para França...

Taking on water,

Sailing a restless sea

From a memory,

A fantasy.

The wind carries

Into white water,

Far from the islands.

REFRÃO:

Don't you know you're

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 ground,

Like a shadow,

Roaming in far off

Territory.

Over your shoulder,

Stories unfold, you're

Searching for sanctuary.

(REFRÃO)

I see a picture

By the lamp's flicker.

Isn't it strange how

Dreams fade and shimmer?
