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!

So true - I moved about every five years or so til I met my hubby - have been at the same address now for 15 years! This really spoke to me, thank you!

I married twice and gave up. That's when I found "The one". It was seventeen years and at least a dozen states later! I think I just needed to be tempered enough for her.
