Lyrics
Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m looking for a way out
For a place that no one knows
Please take me away now
Somewhere it don’t feel so cold
Troubles on my mind
Troubles on my mind
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Come and go where the spirit guides
All alone
My silhouette is fading
Past the point of safe return
Now my body’s aching
As both ends of the candle burn
My heart is beating slow
My heart is beating slow
It’s worn to the pull
It’s worn to the pull
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Come and go where the spirit guides
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
