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 you do

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

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

I thought you'd never ask

Now here comes Lukas
He'd done everything you wanted to
It was twenty years later,
Come back to do what he promised to

He'd come back to make her happy
But these things don't always wait for you
And poor Lukas was late
'Cause when he got back she've been married a day,
Gone away

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I thought you'd never ask
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I thought you'd never ask
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

And Lukas would say, "For a million lonely 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 them say, "Looking for Lukas"
But Lukas is always running away
