With no cloud in sight
A large ship could cruise at night,
Using stars for light.
Using stars for light,
picking her way in forest
glades, she stops to howl.
glades, she stops to howl
into the white moonlight above
gently wiping her tears
Gently wiping her tears,
She watched the train pull away,
Now he's gone for good.
Now he's gone for good,
Véronique can get on with
Her career in oil.
Her career in oil
Was a mistake from the start.
It's a messy job.
It's a messy job
Trying to ravel up the sleave
Of care. I'm leaving.
Of Care... I'm leaving
to find the meaning of Care,
I'm sure it's somewhere.
I'm sure it's somewhere,
Timbuctoo, the centre of
Africa. But where?
Africa? But where?
You might find it at the Fair
On the Roundabout.
On the round about
In the town that's so beautiful
Smelling like fresh roses
Smelling like fresh roses,
She emerged from the bathtub
Rosy in the sun.
Rosy in the sun,
Crossing the great Sahara,
Geeze, it's hot out here.
Geeze, it's hot out here,
The peonies are wilting
For want of water.
For want of water
The family died in the
Sahara Desert.
Sahara Desert.
I think I'll get some ice cream,
Just because I can.
Just because I can
I shall go and take a swim
Who likes to join me
Who likes to join me
In holy wedlock with this
Huge hunk of manhood?
Huge hunk of manhood?
Are you talking about Santa,
he comes once a year!
He comes once a year,
She, however, twice a year.
I think she's cheating.
