Paradise Here Abouts

Howe Gelb

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 
repeat 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 
repeat CHORUS
