Paradise

[Verse] You know I keep the paper for some future rainy day I put it in a pile with all the other things I save Bottle tops and broken watches Rubber bands and creamer cartons All that I might need tomorrow You never know when it gets hard Folding all the clothes, a growing pile upon the bed T-shirts from my travels, Egypt, Montreal, Berlin Turning up the radio, the BBC, the world so close My old car is dead, you know And all those papers block the door [Chorus] I can′t find it Paradise is in the mind I just know it is But I've been searching for a lifetime [Verse] I pick my way through everything to find thе ringing phone Pose a hundred quеstions, hungry just to hear someone Another year tomorrow, no one here to send a card to Books and bills and empty jars, a wave arising, oh my God [Chorus] I can′t find it Paradise is in the mind I just know it is But I've been searching for a lifetime [Verse] Wasn't I alive among the pine trees in the wind? Running through the country, trying to find it Almost out of time and I still don′t know what it is I don′t have what I need to keep from dying [Chorus] I can't find it Paradise is in the mind I just know it is But I′ve been searching for a lifetime I can't find it Paradise is in the mind I just know it is But I′ve been searching for a lifetime A lifetime [Verse] You know I keep the paper for some future rainy day I put it in a pile with all the other things I save Envelopes and advertisements, soup cans and folder files I keep looking, I can't find it Paradise or something like it
