I thought to travel abroad again sometime
Even if only for a walk in a park inside a picture
I hope to see a man swing his umbrella
And maybe a military marching band

I don’t know why I should take so much time
I’ll probably see how a woman can love a man
She’ll walk up to him as he watches her silently
As she gets close she’ll softly hold his hand

It doesn’t take a trip to know these things
But it might make it seem less mysterious
A smile over two drinks says so much
Even in a language I cannot understand

I want to see if a swan would die to be free
Or if their graffiti understands an American ghetto
But really I wondered if anyone could fall in love
With someone who can see time as falling sand

I wonder if my dreams could fill a great hall
I once stood alone in front of The Night Watch
Who could trust someone with so much doubt?
But they could see why I was drawn to this land

A tulip in a crowd noticed me though I could not see
You did, but why did you make it so hard for me?
It seems beauty only makes love to wings of thorns
You believed in me once but now my heart is ******
