Normandy

I must go! Lady Larken, you know the queen would never permit one Of her ladies in waiting to leave the castle by herself. God knows I'm a lady in waiting! Beyond the wall Which you must climb Climb? It's twenty two feet And covered with slime. Slime?! Infested with spiders. Spiders?! Oh the spiders are sweet Compared to the snakes Snakes?! On the other side. Well, they wont hurt you Unless, of course, if you insist on leaving alone and now. Well I did. But if I'd known it was so terrible out there Then you'd think a second thought and come with me I know all the secret wats to set you free. Over the hills and to the open sea! Open sea? But where? Normandy Normandy? But why? Because it's out of the castle, Out of the country, And safe where no one knows you. Safe And besides Normandy Is fine and fair So Normandy is where we'll go I can show you a beach Where the peach blossom blows And I know how to reach, A man who knows A man who knows a cozy inn A friendly place With rows of windows facing the sea! This time of year the air I hear Is rare and clear and warm, In Normandy! I know a meadow covered with mustard Flowers golden as the sun Where a wondrous thing can happen When an April day is done. There's a moment after the twilight When the sky is suddenly green And the world stands hushed and waiting For the first white stars to convene When you see that em'rald sky (You see that em'rald sky) You'll know the reason why (And know the reason why) There's not another place I'd rather be! Keep your El Dorado! And to Hell with Burgundy! Come fly with me! Come try those wings, Come swift for we have things to do Is there truly a beach Where the peach blossom blows? Are you sure you can reach That man who knows that man Who knows that cozy inn... There's Jessamine and... ...That friendly place... White Lilace Lace and ...Rows of windows facing the sea! This time of year the air I hear Is rare and clear... ...and warm Don't be afraid... It's warm... Heaven was made... ...In Normandy! In Normandy! In Normandy! In Normandy! In Normandy!
