Lost Paradise - Marc Almond

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
