Here is lost paradise

It's here, it's here

Lost paradise, it's here

It's here

Lost paradise, it's here



It's the toy 

Broken in the sad child's hand

The one loved so dear

The one like gold

It's a sudden end to childhood's wonderland

A spring that's swiftly grown too old



Here is lost paradise

It's here, it's here

Lost paradise it's here

It's here

Lost paradise it's here



It's the last kiss 

That's faded on our lips

From a first love 

That quickly parted

One praises to the sky

On our knees in worship

And there we're left

Broken hearted



It's that which escapes us

In the course of our lives

That cannot be retained

With no remembrance

It's only melancholy that survives

Through our painful resonance



It's happiness which passes

And leaves us behind

We couldn't hold it for

It was too whole

We couldn't follow our confidence

Undermined for fear of sinking

Being out of control



Here is lost paradise

It's here, it's here

Lost paradise it's here

It's here

Lost paradise it's here



It's a sleepy town

On the edge of the frontier

It's a dead letter 

One has read too late

It's the last love that one believes

Sincere, a failed rendezvous

That would have sealed our fate



Here is lost paradise

It's here, it's here

Lost paradise it's here

It's here

Lost paradise it's here
