Eucharist

I was born in poverty but when I was about nineteen
I wrote a song called 'Kiss Me', and soon it was pay day
A terraced house in the country, I thought that would do for me
It seemed to be the lilac time, but when the lilac died
I went back to town and cried, I need someone who'll always love me

The day after someone dies, you wake a little less alive
Why do the wicked seem to survive, Eucharist in song
We're a little more alone, moments that they'd never know
They'll never see my happy home, you see them every day
I know you want to say you won't forget, we'll always love you

When you're young and you fall down you cry
When you're old and you fall down you're dead
I am in between there and never been
Anywhere or sincere with anyone that I held dear

Checking in around twilight, the hotel readies for the night
I run a bath and pack some books, which we will embrace
Told me that your father died, when you buried him you cried
You're sorry and you are surprised, he died and you were born
So you don't have to mourn, live your life, I'll always love you
Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
