Snow Cherries from France

[Verse 1]

I knew a boy who would not share his bike

Oh, but he let me go sailing

I swore that I could survive any storm

Oh, then he let me go

[Pre-Chorus]

"Can you launch rockets from here?"

Boy, I've done it for years

Right over my head

And when I promised my hand

He promised me back

Snow cherries from France

[Chorus]

All that summer, we travelled the world

Never leaving his own back garden

Girls, I didn't know just what it could be

Oh, but he let me go sailing

[Verse 2]

You question me, "Can you ride anything?"

Lord, do you mean like your mood swings?

Invaders and traders with the best intentions

May convince you to go

[Pre-Chorus]

"They look like pirates from here"

Boy, I've been one for years

Just keeping my head

And when I promised my hand

You promised me back

Snow cherries from France

[Chorus]

All that summer, we travelled the world

Never leaving his own back garden

Girls, I didn't know just what it could be

Oh, but he let me go sailing

[Outro]

And then one day he said, "Girl it's been nice

Oh, but I have to go sailing"

With cinnamon lips that did not match his eyes

Oh, then he let me go
