Five Hours From Calais
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.
Catherine tells me there's no problem,
It's all just a question of pink or blue.
In this whole wide world,
As I drift about,
She said, "You know me, I believe in everything."
Five hours from Calais
Another holiday,
I'm glad I took this chance with you.
For in the course of things,
I find a hidden spring,
Time and time again with you.
Catherine tells me we'll be walking,
Naturally, the gardens are in bloom.
She said the light is light,
I hear the angels sing,
And you know me, I believe in everything.
Five hours from Calais
Another holiday,
I'm glad I took this chance with you.
For in the course of things,
I find a hidden spring,
Time and time again with you.
Five hours from Calais
Another holiday...
Catherine tells me she don't mean to be sugar-sweet,
But this whole scene
Is like a postcard in 3D.
In this whole wide world,
As I drift about,
She said, "You know me, I believe in everything."
Five hours from Calais
Another holiday,
I'm glad I took this chance with you.
For in the course of things,
I find a hidden spring,
Time and time again with you.
