Paradise Lost

It’s late and I’m drunk and my stomach

Sounds like the hot water pipes in the attic room

And who’d have thought the sky could hold

so much snow inside of it just to let it go

So? The stars may shine and the moon may be blue

But what comes, comes from you?

So don’t turn around

cause that’s paradise lost

Don’t turn away Mersey rose

Nothing good could last forever

So don’t turn around

that’s paradise lost

The very place that we chose

Only dreams could last forever

I was meant to take you there

We could pack our bags and be on our way

Hold on to your childlike fears

All your worries, tantrums, tears

I don’t need to know

So? The stars may shine and the moon may be blue

But what comes, comes from you?

So don’t turn around

cause that’s paradise lost

Don’t turn away Mersey rose

Nothing good could last forever

So don’t turn around

that’s paradise lost

The very place that we chose

Only dreams could last forever

Hold it now

there is something you should know

I would never turn away from you

My intentions are clear

That’s the only truth

My only wish is never to lose

So don’t turn around

cause that’s paradise lost

Don’t turn away Mersey rose

Nothing good could last forever

So don’t turn around

that’s paradise lost

The very place that we chose

Only dreams could last forever
