I only phone these days, not to speak,
Just to see, if you've changed the message
On your machine
And it says, tell me in two words what you'd say in a thousand,
And your voice reminds me of the way things used to be
And I gaze into that thought, Like I gaze out to sea,
And I smell you and taste you once more
And your voice it sings to me,
And the hair on my neck reaches out for you once again
But you won't find another country,
You won't find another shore
This city will pursue you and my memory even more
You've destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you
You may have found another life and your sail may have been cast
But I know you're like a child just weeping for the past,
And you won't last
'Cause this ain't no Eden, it ain't no Eden
Singing's only worth it when it hurts, when it's felt,
When really it is just a cry for help
And the flowers that you sent me I still keep,
Though they're dead - Along with meaning
And everything you said
At night the train goes by,
I see it's cinders in the sky
There is no train I wouldn't take,
No journey I wouldn't make
But you won't find another country,
You won't find another shore
This city will pursue you and my memory even more
You've destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you
You may have found another life and your sail may have been cast
But I know you're like a child just weeping for the past,
And you won't last
'Cause this ain't no Eden, it ain't no Eden
It ain't no Eden
It ain't no Eden
It ain't no Eden (You may have found
Another life and your sail may have been cast)
It ain't no Eden (But I know you're
Like a child just weeping for the past,)
It ain't no Eden (And you won't last)
It ain't no Eden
Not for you
