I was talking to the boatman
On a ferry to the mainland
Where a girl at the other end caught my eye
She was dressed like a princess
With the look of an actress
Must be on her way to Paris, not Tourcoing
How do I bend her line of sight
To a simple boy on starboard's side?
I lost track of the boatman's story
Possessed by her lady's glory
She had hardly moved but my world was upside down
Her appearance stopped time and emotion
She silenced the ways off the ocean
Paris seem so far, not Tourcoing
How do i bend her line of sight
To a simple boy on starboard's side
(As we sail into night, speechless) This was my time
 (As we slide into the moonlight, ceaseless) This  was my faith
 (Just me and the playwright) This was my chance
(As we sail into night, speechless) This was the day
(As we slide into moonlight, ceaseless) I turned away
(Just me and the playwright)
To Tourcoing
How do i bend her line of sight
To a simple boy on starboard's side?
How do i pass my love?
How do i bend her line of sight
To a simple boy on starboard's side?
How do i pass my love?
Tourcoing
