Helen Sventitsky - Just This side of Eden
	lyrics
Just this side of Eden (an ode to a haunted house...) I've got an old friend that blows down the road into your childhood room Where other ghosts play behind battered doorways and under quilted beds Half eaten chocolate pirates and golden coins abound We laugh as children used to at ill gotten booty found Summer sunset yesterday Cool breeze took some pain away On this side of Eden just this side of Eden She waits for you Inside dusty rooms downstairs by the velvet bar Where women had their broken hands held out to passing faded stars We heard you sing your vows and other stranded lies As your careless fingers Crawled on wedded thighs Another deal fell thru from too many wanting you just this side of Eden just this side of Eden Yeah, she took her life in vain I thought I'd help her be forever free Now I'm trapped here hearing her cry "He gave her what he couldn't give to me." Now she wanders like a cat throughout the years My boards her only comfort rot with all her tears This house won't go as quietly No matter how long you've abandoned me Just this side of Eden C2003 Helen M.
