Eva Luna Lyrics

Eva Luna

Dressed down in a winter coat

Did turn your ear

Talking backwards

Words written in a sullen tone

Short and sincere

As light hits Brigadoon

The stolen interlude

Torn and battered

Thin and shattered

Spotlight on Eloise

Softly in between

Sweetly haggard

Darkly lacquered



A caution blows

On the good things

And the fine things

Impatience flows

If you take time

It's a fine line



Throw stones in the wishing well

What's next you can never tell

The outline of what we've lived through

Sleep well but when you die

I'll say it serves you right

The outline of what's around you

Won't haunt you anymore now



Dulcinea never settled for simple crap

But I had no choice

Careening madly

It wasn't long before the sun went down

And I lost your voice

Night falls on Araby

Spoken ineffably

And these ankles, so newfangled

Dipped in Erigeron

Basil tarragon

Lost in chatter

Caught in fetters



Silence slows

As the light falls

It's a tough call

And so I fold

Would it take me

To know me?



Throw stones in the wishing well

What's next you can never tell

The outline of what's around you

Sleep well but when you die

I'll say it serves you right

The outline of what we've been through

Won't haunt you anymore now



Liar!
