Born on a junk heap in the sea
Cursed with the notion to be free
White and bright and twenty one
But in my heart Im on the run
I kissed the lips of eau de vie
I tasted sugar and debris
But in the early morning light
I saw the day destroy the night
Life is a long walk home
Chorus:
Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, dont cling to this phenomenal world
I lost my senses in the spring
Of someones life that I left behind
And though I search through everything
A sense of loss is all I find
Her face is every work of art
She haunts the city high and low
But I cant live inside her heart
And so I had to let it go
And make my heart my home
Cursed with the notion to be free
White and bright and twenty one
But in my heart Im on the run
I kissed the lips of eau de vie
I tasted sugar and debris
But in the early morning light
I saw the day destroy the night
Life is a long walk home
Chorus:
Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, dont cling to this phenomenal world
I lost my senses in the spring
Of someones life that I left behind
And though I search through everything
A sense of loss is all I find
Her face is every work of art
She haunts the city high and low
But I cant live inside her heart
And so I had to let it go
And make my heart my home
