Paradise
[Verse 1]Where the river runs to blackI take the schoolbooks from your packPlastics, wire and your kissThe breath of eternity on your lips
In the crowded marketplaceI drift from face to faceI hold my breath and close my eyes [x2]
[Chorus]And I wait for Paradise [x2]
[Verse 2]The Virginia hills have gone to brownAnother day, another sun going downI visit you in another dream [x2]
I reach and feel your hairYour smell lingers in the airI brush your cheek with my fingertipsI taste the void upon your lips
[Chorus]And I wait for Paradise [x2]
[Verse 3]I search for you on the other sideWhere the river runs clean and wideUp to my heart the waters rise [x2]
I sink beneath the river cool and clearDrifting down I disappearI see you on the other sideI search for the peace in your eyes
[Chorus]They are as empty as Paradise (x2)
[Outro]I break above the wavesI feel the sun upon my face
