about

While I was setting out to do sort of an Irish thing, I very obviously ripped off John Prine's "Paradise."

lyrics

v1:
Her face paints a picture that everyone knows
One side a ghost, the other a rose
A smile as wide as the deep blue sea
Why does she keep on hiding from me?

v2:
Her eyes burn like fire, her hair flows like rain
A body that even God wouldn't tame
Legs as long as a mid-summer's day
Why does she keep on running away?

ch:
Eureka, I found her, no love can surround her
She dreams a new dream before vanishing in air
Eureka don't want me, but she sure likes to haunt me
I reach out to touch her, but no one is there

v3:
She thinks that her love might go unreturned
That's a hard lesson that we never learn
A drop at the bottom of the deepest well
The sunlight through the window of the darkest cell

ch:
Eureka, I found her, no love can surround her
She dreams a new dream before vanishing in air
Eureka don't want me, but she sure likes to haunt me
I reach out to touch her, but no one is there

ch2:
Eureka, Hail Mary, this game is so very...
full of deceit, deception, abuse
Eureka, my darlin', you sure are a hard one...
to figure out, to figure the truth

v4:
Her face paints a picture that everyone knows
One side a ghost, the other a rose
