Vonda Shepard - Serious Richard lyrics

i was so lost and you were so profound you taught me how to fly with my feet still on the ground and you told me to be what it is that i was no matter what all of the businessmen said serious richard why do you frown like you do why do you think the whole world is after you well you're probably right and it's probably true about me too 'cause sometimes the world ain't sweet oh these days when was it ever maybe it's just this city hurts oh richard i love you worse serious richard i often recall the time in the doorway in paris the time of the broken sinks and the broken hearts and the broken weeds that we tore apart thinking they were flowers thinking they were art we were so smart richard we liked our love we loved to live out in the streets we knew how to give we were alive happy to be alive you don't know my memory lingers or the message of your fingers serious richard where did you go i never thought an ending we would ever know now it's so cold without your love
