Marillion - Holidays In Eden Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a planeAll your cares would drop away and youd be born againReturning to a nature child happy wild and freeBut forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leadsHolidays in edenLife before the fallSee no, hear no, speak no evilFeel no guilt, feel no guilt at all***** through the jungle, mud between your toesFollowing the river, where the river flowsThe creatures of the forest bid you welcome to the darkNothing here can hurt you, darkness has no heartHolidays in edenParadise regainedSee no, hear no, speak no evilThrow your past awayYou wake up one morning, wondering who you areTheres a map of new country up on the wallAll your new lovers merge into oneYouve done everything under the sunTheres a date on the air ticketAnd the moneys goneBack in your own countryNothing seems the sameNo one comes around at nightOr uses your new nameHearing silent whispersOld friends are acting strangeNo one wants to know you nowPeople say youve changedHolidays in edenLife before the fallSee no, hear no, speak no evilFeel no guilt at allHolidays in edenParadise and lightHeaven loses you to this worldLeaves you aloneKiss your home goodbye(she says shes lonely)
