Bordeaux In the Summer
Life is short, or so they say
That’s why you must remember to get away!
It’s important to remember take a break and relax
If only to get away from my town called Halifax
My family are packed and are ready to go
For our annual pilgrimage to Bordeaux
Why Bordeaux? I hear you say
That’s where I grew up in my younger days
Running like a majestic spirit through the vines
Watching my parents produce our family wine
My sister and myself getting into all sorts of scrapes
To me and my father collecting the grapes
For the past ten years I have to tried to recreate this
For my children to reminisce
About the times they spent in Bordeaux
Keepsakes, for tomorrow
Bordeaux, I cannot wait to be back with you
To help me realise, my life is not a taboo.
