about

Paradise is a single from the upcoming The Hudson River Park EP

lyrics

Salt in my pillow, sand in my boots
A rusty spoon, and laundry chutes
All leading up to a prison cell
Where the breath turns shallow in a chilly hell
The man all laid on starched white sheets
He closes his eyes and puts up his feet
On the snowy plains of a taut white mattress
I asked him where he went and he slowly answered
"Paradise, when the sun shines on me
Paradise, when you bring the tea
Paradise, where I'll stay a while
A moment's rest and small relief"
In a fragrant alley on the side of the street
Where the dogs all grab at scraps of meat
Is a girl with eyes that looked like mine
'Til their light was dulled by assembly lines
As I came with an offering of homemade bread
I buried the hatchet inside my head
And asked her the questions she couldn't refuse
Her light burned again with nothing to lose and she cried
"Paradise, when the breeze comes through!
Paradise, when I'm missing you!
Paradise, when the air is clean
A moment's rest and small relief"
Have I felt the rustling of spring on the wind?
Have I tasted the apple of my sin?
Is the world to end with a wanton howl?
Is my breath still shaky behind my scowl?
Have I felt the rustling of spring on the wind?
Have I tasted the apple of my sin
And laid upon a sturdy limb
And felt the air caress my skin and cried
"Paradise!" when the breeze comes through
"Paradise!" when I'm missing you
"Paradise!" when the air is clean
A moment's rest and small relief
"Paradise!" when the sun shines on me
"Paradise!" when you bring the tea
Paradise, where I'll stay a while
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
A moment's rest and small relief
Ohh!
Hmm
