Lyrics

Boy in love, I wish that I was Meaulnes
Look above and watch your window glow
Feed the past even though I'm grown
Love can last, it never truly goes

So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown
So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown

My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne

Through the years
We lost each other's souls
Through the years
So much to be resolved

So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown
So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown

My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne
