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.
