The Lost Girl In The Midnight Sun - The Lilac Time

Spanish is the loving tongue

The lost girl in the midnight sun

Is lost and young

She comes as if from a dream

And asks me what does living mean

I’m lost?

I’m lost

We build in sand before the tide

I understand that we can’t hide

The revenge of suburban spite

They turn their backs upon the light

They’re wrong they’re wrong

The narrow minded who cannot learn

From bearded boys and lank haired girls

Who were right.

Right on-

In the hours of idle dreaming

Ten gold leaves my blood is bleeding

We build in sand before the tide

I understand that we can’t hide

And try to hide that we don’t understand

Come and live out on the beach

Where new Victorian blackouts bleach

Oh come oh come

Reject their values and their fear

Money isn’t worshipped here

Oh come oh come

There will be times of joy and sorrow

Don’t put off life until tomorrow

The spark of human kindness catches

A little flame among the ashes

Truth will only come in snatches
