My father always promised me

That we would live in France

We 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 would sail in time in time

My sisters are went away

To Denver and Cheyenne

Marrying their grownup dreams

The lilacs and the man

I stayed behind the youngest still

And I danced alone

Hoping of my fathers dreams

Someday take me home take me home

And I live in Paris now

My children dance and sing

Words of a miners tongue

Language they never sing

I sail my memories of home

Like boats across the Seine

And watch my fathers eyes watch the setting sun

It sets in my fathers eyes again
