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
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
All that summer
We traveled 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
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
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
All that summer
We traveled 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
<Interlude>
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
