Robert Francis - Paradise Lyrics

Last night I had a dream our house went up in flames
I had the car going in the drive, I was calling out your name
But you stood at the window and said come back inside
I sat with you awhile, the carpet went up first
You whispered to me in my ear, ""I promise this won't hurt.""
And after all what we've been through, I'll burn down with you too
My beauty, I think the two of us are so alike
I count the headlights heading home tonight
If I could be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life
It's true bout' what they say, you know you've had enough
When all the things you fell for at the start now turn you off
I'll batten down the hatches and weather out the storm
I search through the remains down in the black dust
I still see two people that want to learn to trust
Every night I think of you, do you think of me too?
My beauty, I think the two of us are so alike
I count the headlights heading home tonight
If I could be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life
I play the tape the whole way through
It ends the same for me and you
Crying and fighting in the pouring rain
Making love and doing it over again
It's a broken paradise
I'll go back anytime you like
What's so wrong with the broken hearted?
Take me back to where we started
To where we started
Oh Sasha, I think the two of us are still the same
You can't shoot a man that's born to hang
If I can be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life

Last night I had a dream our house went up in flames
I had the car going in the drive, I was calling out your name
But you stood at the window and said come back inside
I sat with you awhile, the carpet went up first
You whispered to me in my ear, ""I promise this won't hurt.""
And after all what we've been through, I'll burn down with you too
My beauty, I think the two of us are so alike
I count the headlights heading home tonight
If I could be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life
It's true bout' what they say, you know you've had enough
When all the things you fell for at the start now turn you off
I'll batten down the hatches and weather out the storm
I search through the remains down in the black dust
I still see two people that want to learn to trust
Every night I think of you, do you think of me too?
My beauty, I think the two of us are so alike
I count the headlights heading home tonight
If I could be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life
I play the tape the whole way through
It ends the same for me and you
Crying and fighting in the pouring rain
Making love and doing it over again
It's a broken paradise
I'll go back anytime you like
What's so wrong with the broken hearted?
Take me back to where we started
To where we started
Oh Sasha, I think the two of us are still the same
You can't shoot a man that's born to hang
If I can be your broken paradise
I'll go back with you any time you'd like
In a different life
