I only phone these days not to speak

Just to see if you've changed the message on your machine

And it says, "Tell me in two words what you'd say in a thousand"

And your voice reminds me of the way things used to be

And I gaze into that thought like I gaze out to sea

And I smell you and taste you once more

And your voice, it sings to me

And the hair on my neck reaches out for you once again

But you won't find another country

You won't find another shore

To say that you will pursue in my memory even more

You destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you

You may have found another life, and your sail may have been cast

But I know you like a child, just weeping for all of the past

And you won't last 'cause this ain't no Eden

Sing it's only worth it when it hurts, when it's felt

When really it is just a cry for help

And the flowers that you sent me, I still keep, though they're dead

Along with meaning and everything you said

At night the train goes by, I see its cinders in the sky

But there is no train I wouldn't take, no journey I wouldn't make

But you won't find another country

You won't find another shore

To say that you will pursue in my memory even more

You destroyed a small corner, now the whole world's black for you

You may have found another life, and your sail may have been cast

But I know you like a child, just weeping for all of the past

And you won't last 'cause this ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

It ain't no Eden

Not for you
