  Sailing a restless sea
  From a memory,
  A fantasy.

  Never going to get to France.
  Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
  Never going to get to France.

    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....
