There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he, And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

She's come undun
She found a moutain that was far too high
And she found out she couldn't fly
And it was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realise
That it was too late...

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...
She's come undun (2x)

Too many moutains
And not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches
And not enough truth to find
Too many people
And not enough eyes to see
Too many lies to lead
And not enough time...

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realise
That it was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...
She's come undun (3x)
She wanted truth but all she got was lies,
She's come undun (2x)

The white, electric skillet of a day
threatened to sear us all away -
fat frying, spluttering - rank Chicago smeltering along,
smothered in heavy, wooly sweat,
the city knew a sad regret
for staying long in summer's heavy.No escape. Delirious.
So I went subterraneous.
Maybe I'd dream about Dolores'
kinda' auburn hair
