"Eurydice" lyrics

Eurydice smiled as she walked up the stairs
A bouquet of flowers clutched tight in her hands
The love of her life might be waiting up there
But would he make real what she sees in her head?
Her father said, "Darling, be careful with trust
It wrinkles and shrivels when it comes undone"
So, she got to the door with a tear in her eye
Her heart moved her hand, but her feet couldn't lie

If you take one more step, then the damage is done
But, if you turn around, you'll be giving this up
Maybe it's time to feel trusting again
Eurydice, darling, just give him your hand
He might love you
He might really love you, mm-mm

He opened the door, and he looked in her eyes
They shined just the same as they did in his mind
But how could he show her he means what he says?
It might take him years, but she'll trust in the end
His mother said, "Darling, be careful with love
It's hard to get rid of when you find it once"
So, he looked at the floor with a tear in his eye
His heart on his face, but his voice couldn't lie

If you take one more step, then the damage is done
But, if you turn around, you'll be giving this up
Maybe it's time to feel trusting again
Eurydice, dear, if you'd give me your hand
I will love you
I'll really love you

I'll love you
I'll love you
And I'll love you
And I'll love you
And I'll love you
