[Intro] / / / Dsus4 [Verse 1] My father always promised us that we would live in France, we'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance. We lived in Ohio then, he worked in the mines, on his dreams like boats we knew we sail in time. [Interlude] / [Verse 2] All my sisters soon were gone to Denver and Cheyenne, marrying their grownup dreams, the lilacs and the man. I stayed behind, the youngest still, only danced alone, the colors of my father's dreams faded without a sound. [Interlude] / [Verse 3] And I live in Paris now, my children dance and dream, hearing the ways of a miner's life in words they've never seen. I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine and watch the Paris sun as it sets in my father's eyes again. [Interlude] / / / / / / / / / / Dus4 [Verse 4] My father always promised us that we would live in France, we'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance. I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine and watch the Paris sun as it sets in my father's eyes again. [Outro] Dsus4 D

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les promesses d'un père qui rêvait d'une vie en France, où sa famille pourrait naviguer sur la Seine et apprendre à danser. Bien que le père ait travaillé dans une mine en Ohio et que ses filles aient poursuivi leurs rêves ailleurs, l’auteure reste attachée à ces souvenirs. En vivant à Paris avec ses propres enfants, elle transmet l'héritage de son père, faisant revivre les rêves d'une vie plus riche et colorée, tout en cherchant à se reconnecter avec ses racines.
