Marc Almond Lost Paradise
Here is lost paradise It's here, it's here Lost paradise, it's here It's here Lost paradise, it's here It's the toy Broken in the sad child's hand The one loved so dear The one like gold It's a sudden end to childhood's wonderland A spring that's swiftly grown too old Here is lost paradise It's here, it's here Lost paradise it's here It's here Lost paradise it's here It's the last kiss That's faded on our lips From a first love That quickly parted One praises to the sky On our knees in worship And there we're left Broken hearted It's that which escapes us In the course of our lives That cannot be retained With no remembrance It's only melancholy that survives Through our painful resonance It's happiness which passes And leaves us behind We couldn't hold it for It was too whole We couldn't follow our confidence Undermined for fear of sinking Being out of control Here is lost paradise It's here, it's here Lost paradise it's here It's here Lost paradise it's here It's a sleepy town On the edge of the frontier It's a dead letter One has read too late It's the last love that one believes Sincere, a failed rendezvous That would have sealed our fate Here is lost paradise It's here, it's here Lost paradise it's here It's here Lost paradise it's here
