Eden

I only phone these days, not to speak, Just to see, if you've changed the message On your machine And it says, tell me in two words what you'd say in a thousand, And your voice reminds me of the way things used to be And I gaze into that thought, Like I gaze out to sea, And I smell you and taste you once more And your voice it sings to me, And the hair on my neck reaches out for you once again But you won't find another country, You won't find another shore This city will pursue you and my memory even more You've destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you You may have found another life and your sail may have been cast But I know you're like a child just weeping for the past, And you won't last 'Cause this ain't no Eden, it ain't no Eden Singing's only worth it when it hurts, when it's felt, When really it is just a cry for help And the flowers that you sent me I still keep, Though they're dead - Along with meaning And everything you said At night the train goes by, I see it's cinders in the sky There is no train I wouldn't take, No journey I wouldn't make But you won't find another country, You won't find another shore This city will pursue you and my memory even more You've destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you You may have found another life and your sail may have been cast But I know you're like a child just weeping for the past, And you won't last 'Cause this ain't no Eden, it ain't no Eden It ain't no Eden It ain't no Eden It ain't no Eden (You may have found another life and your sail may have been cast) It ain't no Eden (But I know you're like a child just weeping for the past,) It ain't no Eden (And you won't last) It ain't no Eden Not for you
