Postcard #13

Sad eyes in paradise
A dash of rum in your coconut
Looking out from your beach chalet
Flickering a cigarette butt
Maybe sea turtles swim toward the moonlight
The whole place is brimming with love
But there you are, sad eyes in paradise
Sad eyes in paradise
Sad eyes in paradise

Can I have another Tiger beer?
And what's the password for the Wi-Fi here?
A crime novel on this [?]
You haven't made it past the first page
What's on your mind?
What kind of dark clouds are in there?
I have to resist the urge
To pick a flower and put it behind your ear

Oh, sad eyes in paradise
Sad eyes in paradise

A rainstorm surprises us
We run back into our chalets
But you just stand there in the middle of the rain
You look like you are about the same
God, if you're there, you gave me nothing
Then you took it all away

Sad eyes in paradise
Sad eyes in paradise
