It's Not Enough

Somewhere in Paris, there's someone 
Saying, "I just hate this place so much!"
I thought I'd surely love it here
But now again it's not enough

Somewhere in the Bahamas
Making sure the blinds are drawn
A maid is busy folding sheets
But what she wants is to be gone

It's a burden being restless
To find that great new place to go
Now you're here and stowed your gear
Is it enough, I don't think so 

I'll tell you now, no place is right
If you need some piece of mind
It's not a place, but a person
Your poor heart, aches to find!

I think I just needed to be tempered enough for her.
