Jacobites Son of a French Nobleman song lyrics

Son of a French nobleman

Brought up in castles overlooking

The Seine

And you inherited your father's looks

I didn't-

But who's counting anyway

You watch the children who play in the courtyard

The ones you've never met

Only read of in books

The girl with the red hair arrives as daily at 3 o'clock

Sometimes by the old church

Sometimes by the grey village clock

So you jump down from your favorite spot

The place where the crows nest

And the sparrows never stop

And you run across the courtyard just to take her hand

And walk through the galleries of ancient art

And you hold her close and say you'll never let her go

Like some people only dream of

And what do you really expect me to do?

Just lay back and take it?

But one day I'll break away

And we'll walk down the old church steps together

And we'll jump upon the nearest boat

And we'll run through candy floss fields forever

It's just forever...
