Paradise Nox - Autumn

Twilight settles on the fields

I hear the birds and bells in the same song

What comforts me will be gone within the hour

And I’ll be waiting by the lamp-pole

Is it bliss or misery if what you see is what you believe?

Thank the loss of innocence, for things are starting to make sense

If you find them so unkind, I’ll kind my thoughts confined to my own mind

But don’t you trigger me… You know you’ve lost my heart to the paradise night

A message sent to bury dreams

No need to tell you what it means

And it will stir the hornets deep inside

It’s a shame, not a crime

Put the lid on our new time

Leave the room

Things look grim

Amputee… I’m your phantom-limb

The evening primrose blooms…

We used to use its roots for our blue wine

A scented sentiment saturates the night

It’s almost nine…

And I strike a match to set the words alight

Such ill news in a cruel disguise

Yes, it’s time for me to go

You can close the shutters now…

And go to sleep in 'our' bed

Tomorrow I’ll be home

Is it bliss or misery if what you see is what you believe?

Thank the loss of innocence, for things are starting to make sense

If you find them so unkind, I’ll kind my thoughts confined to my own mind

But don’t you trigger me… You know you’ve lost my heart to the paradise night
