Paradise

Where the river runs to black

I take these school books from your pack

Plastics wire and your keys

Breathe of eternity on your lips

In the crowded market place

I drift from face to face

I hold my breath and close my eyes

I hold my breath and close my eyes

And I wait for paradise

I wait for paradise

Virginia hills are gone to black

Another day and another sun are going down

I visit you in another dream

I visit you in another dream

I reach and feel your hair

Your smell lingers in the air

I brush your cheek with my finger tips

I taste the void upon your lips

And I wait for paradise

I wait for paradise

I search for the you on the other side

Where the rivers are clean and white

Up to my heart that water’s rise

Up to my heart that water’s rise

Seeming that water’s blue and clear

Drifting down I disappear

I see you’re on the other side

I search for peace in your eyes

But there’s emptiest paradise

There’s emptiest paradise

I wait above the place

I feel the sun upon my face
