Paradise

Went out walking I recall

Me and my best girl along the wall

In the long grass side by side

Where the big ships go gliding by, go gliding by

Skylark singing in the sun

Something told me she's the one

When I looked down into her eyes

I saw pictures of paradise... of paradise... of paradise

Everynight you look so mean

Staring at your tv screen

Back when we where seventeen

You turned me around irene irene

When the days got colder time went by

Dark cloud rising into the sky

I just sat there gazing on

Like a tower of babylon... of babylon

I went wandering far from home

Left my good girl all on her own

I went back there she got the power

See me through my darkest hour... my darkest hour... my darkest hour

Everynight you look so mean

Staring at your tv screen

I got lost inside a dream

You brought me back irene irene

People talking but they don't know

Where I've been to or where I'll go

World keep turning all things change

I love two girls I ain't ashamed... I ain't ashamed

All your loving it thrills me so

I can't go with you I just can't go

A thousand highways you don't live twice

Only one road to paradise... to paradise... to paradise

Everynight you look so mean

Staring at your tv screen

Thinkin about what might have been

I'll love you still irene irene
