Roy Harper - Francesca

 

Hey Francesca

You gave me no warning

Hey Francesca

Tiptoes in the morning

Thanks for leaving the sunshine

Thanks for leaving me

Thanks for being all mine

Thanks for being free

Hey Francesca.

      In some respects, Harper seems too complex a character to be packaged solely as a singer of love songs. "Francesca" is a song released on his 1990 album Once and often featuring in his live sets. The lyrics express gratitude, affection, and admiration for a woman named Francesca, with lines focusing on her being "all mine" and "free," suggesting a personal, intimate tribute to someone close to him. A beautiful song.
