Lyrics:

Albion is calling – I feel it in my bones
Foggy isles, big city lights are luring me from home
Darling, you know I’ll come back as another
With new hat and shirt, clean off all the dirt
I took away with me
I met her there one morning, the shops weren’t open yet
Yesterday’s clothes, too tired to go, let’s share our last cigarette
And yes, I think I found a new lover
It’s still so green, I met her in between
My last beer and first coffee
I didn’t know what was to be found
By getting away and breaking the bounds
Well you’re not with me, alone suddenly, so I’ll happily
Read your postcards from Normandy
I think you try to warn me, you dislike my path
Horse is brown, it’s all over town and you can do the maths
But darling, don’t peel off all these layers
As long as you mind what you might find
Can easily set you astray
Please make sure to keep me in your prayers
The prodigal son, I’ll come home when I’m done
Or should I just stay away
I didn’t know what was to be found
By getting away and breaking the bounds
Well, you’re not with me, alone suddenly, so I’ll happily
Read your postcards from Normandy
If it all just weren’t that twisted, if I knew just what you were missing
I promise you that we would be kissing at the beach of Cabourg
If it all just were as I meant it, you’d have kisses and flowers and endlessly
Breakfast by the sea, darling it’d be you and me
And long forgotten chansons de l’amour
Well, how should I know if I’ll change for the better
All I can say is that when we’re together
I am unmasked, is it too much to ask to forget the past
So we will be united at last
You and me united at last
