lyrics

And it's you in the meadows at Châteaubriant, stinging nettle in your hand, daisies in your hair
and it's you sitting cross-legged in my room looking at me from down on the jute
asking me to dare

but I can't look back or hold your hand
or write my name in the sand
but I can look at you across the canal's edge
and offer you an easy laugh

She said I would wake up with a shotgun barrel in my face if I decided to give up the chase and sleep out in the fields
like a thousand gypsy boys who came this way before me, to carry the Virgin to the sea, with nothing left to steal

And Elston Gunn and Manitas de Plata together in a cafe in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
He pours himself a glass and says "the next time we cross paths, I'll offer you an easy laugh"
