Going to France
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you say it's too cold over there anyway
it's far too cold.
i'm going to france.
and i'm taking you with me.
wild berries, wild sheep
you know you want to see them.
and i'm going to france.
and i'm taking you with me.
we always said one day we were going there.
well, i don't know about you,
but i keep my promises.
and i'm going to france.
and i'm taking you with me.
