Lukas

They call him Lukas
Climbing the stairs
to talk to you
Coming to tell his stories
Every single one of which is true

Hello Lukas
I'm pleased to meet you
Now how'd you do?

So they go driving
Out to the river like lovers do
You smell of the summer
Maybe the summer
Just smells of you

One day I'm gonna be a famous writer
Some book like Love in the afternoon
It was all Lukas could say
Maybe one day we could run away
Run away

uuuh
I though you'd never ask
uuuh
uuuh
I though we'd never last

Now here comes Lukas
He'd done everything he wanted to
It was twenty years later
Come back to do what he promised to
He come back to make her happy
But these things don't always wait for you
And poor Lukas was late 'cos when he got back
she'd been married a day, gone away

uuuh
I thought we'd never last
uuuh
uuuh
I thought you'd never ask

And Lukas would say:

For a million lonenly people
Another lonely day
For a million hearts that open
A million break
And the world's just a fallen angel
In my wake

High up in heaven
You can hear the say
Looking for Lukas
But Lukas was always
Running away
