Francesca Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Who shook the stars from her eyes?
Who shook the stars from her eyes?
Who took the shine that watered out of wine
And left her alone in the world?

Who spread that cloak around her soul?
Who spread that cloak around her soul?
Who stole the prize that glittered in her eyes
And left her the fool of the world?

Oh Francesca, who′s gonna save you now?
Oh Francesca, who's gonna save you now?

It takes nerve to put your hand up
To risk it all and stand up
To the tongue twisters, the campaign whisperers


Who dragged her name through the dirt?
Who dragged her name through the dirt?
Who trampled her down and burned her to the ground
And left her the orphan of the world?

Oh Francesca, who′s gonna save you now?
Oh Francesca, who's gonna save you now?

It takes nerve to put your hand up
To risk it all and stand up
To the tongue twisters, the campaign whisperers

Who laid her down, took her rose?
Who laid her down, took her rose?
Who took her flower and dashed her charges by the hour
And left her the whore of the world?

And left her the whore of the world?
And left her the whore of the world?
