The Lovers of Cherbourg
In memory of Michel Legrand
Young lovers have from time to time made promises
On midnight docks before the troopships sailed
On dripping railway platforms censed in steam
At bus stops and on glassed-in airport ramps
Young lovers have from time to time made promises
And pledged them in their letters with kisses sealed
And cancelled politicians upside down
Then posted to a world that is not yet
Young lovers have from time to time made promises -
If it takes forever, we will wait for them
