Howe Gelb - Paradise Here Abouts Lyrics

Are you searching for a situation
with a less hurting affiliation
do you so feel it when you can?t believe your eyes
{CHORUS} welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise
are you longing for infiltration
somewhere under the radar in the tarnation
will you know it even before compromise
{CHORUS}
sometimes drifting can be stunning
but the current can be cunning
if you drift too far from where the shore lies
just getting back is paradise, paradise, paradise
are you middle aged or maybe older
with a creviced face when the seasons seem colder
but can you ever remember a time easier to
separate the truth from the lies
{CHORUS}
