The Lilac Time - The Lost Girl In The Midnight Sun lyrics

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
