Russia

by Alain Souchon

I visited Russia and I started folding
until in one precious doll I had hoarded
all of Siberia; I said, Love, here ya
go.
She said:
Too little too late.
A trip to the Nile where I started swimming
until I finally found the spring brimming
with God's purest water from Abba the father
to heal her.
She said:
Too little too late.
I sailed to Komodo, I fought with the dragons;
when it was over, their tails were wagging.
I taught them tricks, said Sit, dragon, sit.
I brought her a pet.
She said:
Too little too late.
I rode into China, I studied the Wall.
And I lapped it seven times, which caused it to fall.
It spilled out our fortune, I found exhortion,
Well, here you go.
She said:
Too little too late.
She said:
Too little too late.
Too little too late.
