paroles de chanson Ship to Forever - Terrie Frankel

From "Room Enough For Two – The Life of Dorothy Parker'

SPOKEN: Hemingway and I spent many hours in my stateroom.
Him waking me up and vice versa.

On a SHIP TO FOREVER
Ship of fools were we.
Casting off to tomorrow on an open sea.

SPOKEN: We even 'lollied' in a life boat once.
Or was it twice?
Ah youth. One believes when one is young that love will last forever.
That there is such a thing as happily ever after.
And oh, I believed.

And we set sail.
And I gave in to passion.
Promising things, no reason or rhyme.
Forever.
Forever.

Never thinking love could lead to anywhere we didn't dream.
Knowing in our hearts the end was closer than it seemed.

On a SHIP TO FOREVER
Ship of fools were we.
Casting off to the promise of an open sea.

And the words, "Leave me never" still are haunting me.
I will believe them no more.
For I just couldn't see.
That 'forever' would end
When we reached shore.
