Eve i can’t believe

That you could mean

What you just said

Think of what you are

How very far you are from being real

Look into the mirror

Nothing there to see

Eve i can’t believe

You’d really leave him

(*) notice how her image saddens

How lonely she’s become

Just once i’d like to see her happy

Before the winter comes

Eve, i wouldn’t lie

The open sky is not your home

Wide as it may be

Reality is here among the stones

Thorns among the roses

Add to what is real

Eve, you are a rose

Among the thorns here

Repeat (*)

I wish her only good times

Before the winter comes

Eve I can’t believe
That you could mean

Think of what you are
How very far you are from being real

Look into the mirror

(*) Notice how her image saddens
How lonely she’s become
Just once I’d like to see her happy
Before the winter comes

Eve, I wouldn’t lie
The open sky is not your home
Wide as it may be
Reality is here among the stones

Thorns among the roses
Add to what is real
Eve, you are a rose
Among the thorns here

Words & music: chantal kreviazuk

Eve is gone again
Back to her palace
Back to her island
Eve can smile again
And run ‘round the hedges
In the garden of eden

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it’s over darling

Oh, could i be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could i forgive
And could i die in my mother’s arms
Like her

Eve’s a child again
Sing her a lullaby
Read to her every night
Eve’s in heaven
Plenty of friends are there
No one the enemy

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it’s over darling

Oh, could i be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could i forgive
And could i die in my mother’s arms
Like her
Like her
Like her

Like her …
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her …
Run just like before the overkill
Like her …
Run the way you did it’s over darling
Like her …
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her …
Run just like before the overkill
Like her …
Run the way you did it’s over darling

Could i die in my mother’s arms
Like her

[recorded live at the limelight, ny, march 4, 1993. ]
[the samples are from a reading of james joyce’s book, ]
["dedalus – portrait of an artist as a young man". ]

"chapter one. once upon a time, and a very good time it was,
There was a moo cow coming down along the road."

"so he came himself in weakness not in power
And he sent thee, a creature in his stead,
With a creature’s comeliness and luster
Suited to our state.
And now thy very face and form dear mother,
Speak to us of the eternal;
Not like earthly beauty, dangerous to look upon,
But like the morning star which is thy emblem,
Bright and musical, breathing purity,
Telling of heaven and infusing peace.
O harbinger of day! o light of the pilgrim!
Lead us still as thou hast led.
In the dark night, across the bleak wilderness
Guide us on to our lord jesus, guide us home."

"’tower of ivory?’ they used to say, ‘house of gold?’
How could a woman be a tower of ivory or a house of gold?"
