Marillion - Holidays In Eden lyrics

(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a plane All your cares would drop away and you'd be born again Returning to a nature child happy wild and free But forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leads Holidays in eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt, feel no guilt at all Naked through the jungle, mud between your toes Following the river, where the river flows The creatures of the forest bid you "welcome to the dark" Nothing here can hurt you, darkness has no heart Holidays in eden Paradise regained See no, hear no, speak no evil Throw your past away You wake up one morning, wondering who you are There's a map of new country up on the wall All your new lovers merge into one You've done everything under the sun There's a date on the air ticket And the money's gone Back in your own country Nothing seems the same No one comes around at night Or uses your new name Hearing silent whispers Old friends are acting strange No one wants to know you now People say you've changed Holidays in eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt at all Holidays in eden Paradise and light Heaven loses you to this world Leaves you alone Kiss your home goodbye (she says she's lonely)
