Return to Eden

A tribute to Ultravox

I've got my back against the wall You keep telling me the sae old story Why do we all fall down? Are we on solid ground? Dream on. when the scream subsides And we all fall from grace The tone of the voice will be so harsh I felt the rage in Eden I heard the sad lament The words all kept me strong And the music gave me strength One last sweet surrender You walk through me again But by mid 89 It seemed all in one day it was over. I never wanted to begin I didn't mean to live in sin But those forbidden desires ruled much of my life I tried reaching for the sun I had to cut and run I had time to kill I took a jagged pill Felt welcomed by the song In the heart of the country I heard the serenade stood by the standing stones Wearing someone else's clothes The only thing to keep me sane in my youth Was my Ultravox LPs I listened to them every time the pain Tried to consume me to swallow up and chew me Without them I'd be lost

When I was double crossed The music pulled me through As it filled up my room How I miss them. Fly on the wild wind The music gives me wings I went to rainbows end I danced with tears in my eyes When the time came then I cried Want to take another ride But the face in the window in the night Once more told me it was over. So many years went by They meant nothing to me But one monumental day We returned to Eden We took the ride again The quartet back together And aged so well with time So long that I have waited The boy is now a man The prize was worth the waiting for I'll always be a fan I've truly missed them.
