The reality is not exactly what the song started out to be, but it's not a bad song.

I am the highway and a peregrine and all the sails that ever went to sea

This is why I'm here on this planet, at this time, Francesca. Not to travel or make pictures, but to love you. I know that now. I have been falling from the rim of a great, high place, somewhere back in time, for many more years than I have lived in this life. And through all of those years, I have been falling toward you.

For we have come by different ways to this place... I can tell by the natural ease with which you wear fine clothes and the way your mouth moves when you speak with waiters in good restaurants. You have come the way of castles and cathedrals, of elegance and empire.

Complex things are easy to do. Simplicity's the real challenge.

I sometimes have the feeling you've been here a long time, more than one lifetime, and that you've dwelt in private places none of the rest of us has even dreamed about.

And I remember most of what I know that is good and true and lasting has come not from scholars but from minstrels and gypsies.
