Lukas

They call him Lukas

Climbing the stairs to talk to you

Coming to tell his stories

Every single one of which is true

Hello, Lukas

I'm pleased to meet you, now how'd you do?

So they go driving

Out to the river like lovers do

You smell of the summer

Maybe the summer just smells of you

One day I'm gonna be a famous writer

Some book like love in the afternoon

It was all Lukas could say

Maybe one day we could run away

Run away

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'd thought you'd never ask

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh

I'd thought we'd never last

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh

Now here comes Lukas

He'd done everything he wanted to

It was twenty years later

Come back to do what he promised to

He'd come back to make her happy

But these things don't always wait for you

And poor Lukas was late

Cause when he got back she'd been married a day

Gone away

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'd thought we'd never last

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh

I'd thought you'd never ask

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh

And Lukas would say

For a million lonely people

Another lonely day

For a million hearts that open

A million break

And the world's just a fallen angel

In my wake

High up in heaven you can hear them say

Looking for Lukas

But Lukas was always running away

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooo-ooh
