France

I’ll go off to France
Buy some new shoes
And maybe change the picture from the frame
Learn a few more words
I don’t hardly understand
And waste a few more hours
Down on Memory Lane

(chorus)
Life and Death they keep running side by side
No one’s different from me
I’d wait up all night long
Holding up these eyes
I wish my heart and head could agree.

Now one little candle
Pumps an ocean of blood
And never cracks from the strain
But one little candle
Can tear a poor boy apart
When the last ember
Whispers out your name.

(chorus)
