To France

The document is the lyrics to the song "To France" by the band Blind Guardian. It is a cover of Mike Oldfield's original song. The 3 sentence summary is: The song is about a sailor sailing a restless sea, taken by the wind into white water far from islands. The lyrics describe the sailor never being able to get to France and questioning if a new romance could ever bind them as they walk in foreign grounds like a shadow, roaming in far off territory searching for sanctuary. It reflects on seeing a picture by lamplight and how dreams fade and shimmer.

Bm E A
Takin' on water, sailin' a restless sea
Bm C#m D E Bm
From a memory, a fantasy
E A
The wind carries into white water
Far from the Islands
Bm C#m D E
Don't you know you're
F#m E G#m F#m D
Nev-er going to get to France
E F#m
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you
F#m E G#m F#m D
Nev-er going to get to France
E F#m
Could a new romance ever bind you
Walkin' in foreign grounds like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder stories unfold
You're searching for sanctuary you know you're
Never going to get to France...
D A C#m D E
I see a picture by the lamp's flicker
D A C#m D E
Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France...
