Song: Paradise
Album: Nocturne
INTRO/VERSE (keyboard transcribed for guitar)
[F] [Fmaj7] [G]
RIFF (Very jangly)
Dancer in the night
Playing with my eyes
Velvet tongue so sweet
Say anything you like
Crush me with the lie
Tell me once or twice
That love is paradise
Love is paradise
BRIDGE (Michelle Williams reads quotes from A Word Child by Iris Murdoch in one version
of the song)
Amo amas amat
Amamus amatis amant
Amavi amavisti amavit
Amavimus amavistis amaverunt
Amavero amaveris amaverit
Everything was love.
Everything will be love.
Everything has been love.
Everything would be love.
Everything would have been love.
Ah, that was it, the truth at last.
Everything would have been love.
The huge eye, which had become an immense sphere
was gently breathing, only it was not an eye nor a sphere,
but a great wonderful animal covered in little waving legs like hairs
waving oh so gently as if they were underwater.
All shall be well and all shall be well said the ocean.
So the place of reconciliation existed after all.
Not like a little knot hole in a cupboard,
but flowing everywhere and being everything.
I had only to will it and it would be
for spirit is omnipotent only I never knew it.
Like being able to walk on the air.
I could forgive. I could be forgiven.
I could forgive. Perhaps that was the whole of it after all.
Perhaps being forgiven was just forgiving only no one had ever told me. There was
nothing else needful. Just to forgive.
Forgiving equals being forgiven.
The secret of the universe, do not whatever you do forget it.
The past was folded up and in the twinkling of an eye
everything had been changed and made beautiful and good.
