Paradise Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Words from the Well

2011

[Verse 1]
Well, this world has done me dirty
And this world has done my wrong
I sit up on that mountaintop and sing that lonesome song
'Cause life goes on forever
Every second people die
And still they spend their glory days fearin' for their lives
They're goin' home
[Verse 2]
And now the sun, it sets in paradise
Up in the Catskill Mountains
And it's times like this I wouldn't trade for golden gates or brambles
Just hope to get this fire started
'Fore the cold sets in
'Causе there ain't enough whiskеy left to die in this much sin
I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
And I'll die without a scratch upon my soul
[Verse 3]
In the garden, God told Adam
That there's an apple tree
If you set your senses to it, then damned your soul will be
But temptation blew in strong that day
In from a southern wind
A hiss came from the tree and said a taste don't count as sin
[Verse 4]
Now, if I was Adam on that day
I'd take more than a bite!
And you know I'd fill my pockets up and slip into the night
If I got caught red-handed
I would prob'ly breathe
Where I come from there's apples and a snake in every tree!
I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
And I'll die without a scratch upon my soul
[Verse 2]
And now the sun, it sets in paradise
Up in the Catskill Mountains
And it's times like this I wouldn't trade for golden gates or fountains
Just hope to get this fire started
'Fore the cold sets in
'Cause there ain't enough whiskey left to die in this much sin
