lyrics

Eden Don’t Go

I walk dark streets with the rain lashing
A lighting flash, the thunder crashing
Every raindrop hits me & hits me like a blow
It’s just the wine that stops me crying
If there’s a moon the sky is lying
I’d tell you that I love you but you’d just say: ‘I know.’

The streets are mean around King’s Cross
I stand alone & almost lost
If lightning could find me I would let it know
Love is like a long goodbye
Half of you just wants to die
But I will keep on living ‘cause I’m a stubborn so & so.

Chorus
Eden don’t go, Eden don’t go; you know I need you so, Eden don’t go
Eden don’t go, Eden don’t go; You know I want you so, Eden don’t go.

You told me I should keep believing
But here you are: the one that’s leaving
I guessed I reaped all that you could sow
So I stand in the pouring rain
Staring at your departing train
Was you love for me ever real or just a passing show?

I walk around in a wine soaked haze
And think of all our glory days
My thoughts almost as black as any ragged crow
I thought our love would be sublime
But I guess our dreams ran out of time
Now my heart’s as frozen as any fallen snow.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

You say you needed to find your way
And you could only do it by going away
You were my heart & home now I’ve no place to go
There were so many words left unspoken
When all we built was left for broken
Now I walk in darkness save for a lamplight’s glow.

Chorus

Eden don’t go, Eden don’t go.
