The Lotus Eaters Lyrics

Sipping on flowers

The hours roll by

The past, the present, the future are one

So hard for me just to keep my eyes open

So hard for me just to speak when I'm spoken to

The joker is wild and the lotus is sweet

Sweeter than any dear thoughts of my home

And Eve took the fruit, so I'll take the flower

The lotus will carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me, yeah

The captain is angry

The ship has to sail

There is no more time for pleasure, he says

But in this perfection, all action's a sin

What care I, captain, at a change in the wind

The joker is wild and the lotus is sweet

Sweeter than any dear thoughts of my home

And Eve took the fruit, so I'll take the flower

The lotus will carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me, yeah

What is that sail I see off in the distance

Is that my own ship, sailing away

Is this a dream, or did it just happen

I can't seem to tell

I can't see the sail

The joker is wild and the lotus is sweet

Sweeter than any dear thoughts of my home

And Eve took the fruit, so I'll take the flower

The lotus will carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me, yeah

Carry me on

Carry me on

Carry me on
