Ariadne’s Afternoon

Lyrics

Five o'clock, a Turin sky Where the day-end's sleepy shadows slide A train of thought will wake you soon I'll gaze up from Ariadne's afternoon And oh, just like she, eternally Bound up in fantasy Comparing life I know to life in Books and television shows Just imitating All the things they're faking Coz it's hard enough Just to love Never mind the time and distance Nothing could be so remiss as Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh It's hard enough Not to love Nothing's gonna last forever Maybe we could just endeavour To try to get along together, we could see Like Ariadne Ariadne Ariadne Ariadne And I believe you care for me Though I'm not the girl you thought I'd be The face may fit, the long dark hair But that slowly, stern and sullen stare And when I try my best just to connect With that great part of you The words all tumble out, those virgin vows Well some would go without That deeper meaning of unspoken feeling Coz it's hard enough Just to love Never mind the time and distance Nothing could be so remiss as Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh It's hard enough Not to love Nothing's gonna last forever Maybe we could just endeavour To try to get along together, we could see Like Ariadne Ariadne Ariadne Oh Ariadne Ariadne And when I try my best just to connect I feel you turn away Your words all tumble out, they make no sound And I am left without Your deeper meaning of unspoken feeling Coz it's hard enough Just to love Never mind the time and distance Nothing could be more remiss than Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh It's hard enough Not to love Nothing's gonna last forever Maybe we could just endeavour To try to get along together, we could see Oh it's hard Not to love Nothing's gonna last forever Maybe we could just endeavour To try to get along together, we could see Hey we could see, hey we could see Oh we could see, see
