Serious Richard Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

I was so lost and you were so profound 

You taught me how to fly with my feet still on the ground 

And you told me to be what it is that I was 

No matter what all of the businessmen said 

Serious richard why do you frown like you do 

Why do you think the whole world is after you 

Well you're probably right and it's probably true about me too 

'cause sometimes the world ain't sweet 

Oh these days when was it ever 

Maybe it's just this city hurts 

Oh richard I love you worse 

Serious richard 

I often recall the time in the doorway in paris 

The time of the broken sinks and the broken hearts 

And the broken weeds that we tore apart 

Thinking they were flowers thinking they were art 

We were so smart richard 

We liked our love we loved to live 

Out in the streets we knew how to give 

We were alive happy to be alive 

You don't know my memory lingers 

Or the message of your fingers 

Serious richard where did you go 

I never thought an ending we would ever know 

Now it's so cold without your love
