Holidays In Eden Lyrics - Marillion

Did you ever feel that just by 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)
