Paradise Songtext
von John Power

Sycamore seeds and sparrows drenched in butter
Would rather fall than hang around in trees
I see them girls just dancing by the side of the road
With their love and swing
Keep on dancing, baby, by the side of the road

And if I look real close
Across the clear night sky
Satellites and shooting stars pass by

Sometimes after dark
When all the world′s asleep
I know you're never far away from me
You′re giving me one more night in paradise
You're giving me one more night in paradise

And now my life is like a caterpillar's
I long each day to be a butterfly
I see them girls just dancing by the side of the road
With their love and swing
Keep on dancing, baby, by the side of the road


And if I listen hard
I hear the children sing
Across these city streets their lullabies

Sometime after dark
When all the world′s asleep
I know you′re never far away from me
You're giving me one more night in paradise
You′re giving me one more night in paradise
You're giving me one more dream of paradise

Oh desire, how it feels to mock me
It′s you who placed the apple in my heart

I see them girls just dancing by the side of the road
With their love and swing
Keep on dancing, baby, by the side of the road

When I feel I'm lost
In some great mystery
I look for you and you can look for me


Sometime after dark
When all the world′s asleep
I know you're never far away from me
You're giving me one more night in paradise
You′re giving me one more night in paradise
You′re giving me one more night, one more day
One more dream of paradise
