Lotus Eater

Learn to love and live to laugh
I’ll be back again
To hope this night will always last
I’ll be back again
I’ll be back again my baby blue
I’ll be back again this time for you
Only to pretend that it’s not true
Just like the weather you can’t decide
I’ll be back again
To trade the truth for tears you hide
I’ll be back again
The highbrow watched as seasons pass
You spoke too soon the moments crashed
And all these eyes they scowl at you
You twist and shout but they’re stuck like glue
And I know you were almost there
Maroon trench coat and charcoal hair
A love long luna lugubrious light
You dined on lotus and closed your eyes for one last time
Until you can’t forgive, you must forget
I’ll be back again
Riddles and rhythm over a cigarette
I’ll be back again
I’ll be back again my baby blue
I’ll be back again this time for you
Only to pretend that it’s not true
I believe it, I believe it, I believe it’s true
I’ve been lonely, I’ve been lonely, I’ve been lonely too
I now know something more than ever
I believe it’s true
To keep it on a distant level
I’ve been lonely too
I now know something more than ever
I believe it’s true
You learn to love and live forever
No longer baby blue
