I was so lost and you were so profound

You taught me how to fly with my feet still on the ground

And you told me to be what it is that I was

[00:37.33]No matter what all of the businessmen said[00:43.62]Serious Richard, why do you frown like you do?

[00:37.33]No matter what all of the businessmen said[00:43.62]Serious Richard, why do you frown like you do?

Why do you think the whole world is after you?

[00:53.42]Well, you're probably right and it's probably true about me, too[01:00.47]'Cause sometimes the world ain't sweet

[00:53.42]Well, you're probably right and it's probably true about me, too[01:00.47]'Cause sometimes the world ain't sweet

Oh these days, when was it ever?

Maybe it's just this city hurts

[01:18.43]Oh Richard, I love you worse[01:24.15]Serious Richard

[01:18.43]Oh Richard, I love you worse[01:24.15]Serious Richard

I often recall the time in the doorway in Paris

The time of the broken sinks and the broken hearts

And the broken weeds that we tore apart

[01:44.41]Thinking they were flowers, thinking they were art[01:53.81]We were so smart, Richard

[01:44.41]Thinking they were flowers, thinking they were art[01:53.81]We were so smart, Richard

We liked our love, we loved to live

Out in the streets we knew how to give

[02:08.20]We were alive, happy to be alive[02:14.34]You don't know my memory lingers

[02:08.20]We were alive, happy to be alive[02:14.34]You don't know my memory lingers

[02:19.03]Or the message of your fingers[02:51.46]Serious Richard, where did you go?

[02:19.03]Or the message of your fingers[02:51.46]Serious Richard, where did you go?

I never thought an ending we would ever know

Now it's so cold without your love
