Marillion - Holidays In Eden lyrics

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 a 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)
