Robert Cray - Out Of Eden lyrics

Tie the trunk with a piece of string Make sure, did we forget anything? Turn the lights out And close the door Tell the mailman We don't live here no more They said it was paradise And that we'd live here forever And they stabbed us in the back With a poison dagger Stood by the river And watched us drown Smiled, then they waved??? While we went down But once was will never happen Again Now we travel out of Eden I know you would stand up For what is right And I know you would you stand up Against what's wrong Our neighbors were blind But we had each other And we became strong They said it was paradise And that we'd live here forever Then they stabbed us in the back With a poison dagger Wrongly accused Rightly upset When our friends turned their backs We knew we'd never, never forget What once was will never happen No, no, again Now we travel out of Eden (Guitar solo) Put your suitcase down Lay on the bed I'll open up the window Clear skies ahead We can sit on the beach Or swim in the ocean We survived on a life of devotion They said it was paradise And that we'd live here forever Then they stabbed us in the back With a poison dagger Tried and convicted Without hearing our side Now everyone's sorry But there'll be no next time What once was will never happen again Now we travel out of Eden Now we travel out of Eden Now we travel out of Eden Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm (Guitar solos mixed in with humming)
