[Intro]         /                /         /          Dsus4      [Verse 1]     My father always promised us that we would live in France      we’d go boating on the Seine   and I would learn to dance.          We lived in Ohio then       he worked   in the   mines   on his dreams like boats we knew we sail   in time. [Interlude]         /                         [Verse 2]     All my sisters soon were gone   to Denver and Cheyenne       marrying their grownup dreams   the lilacs and the man.           I stayed behind   the youngest still   only danced alone       the colors of my father’s dreams   faded without a sound.     [Interlude]         /                         [Verse 3]     And I live in Paris now   my children dance and dream       hearing the ways of a miner’s life   in words they’ve never seen.        I sail my memories    of home   like boats across the Seine   and watch the Paris sun as it sets in my father’s eyes      again.
