lyrics

Genevieve
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner

Genevieve a mystical girl
Who no one really knows
A rare kind in this world
And here’s how the legend goes
She lived by the sea
And men came there to please
She lured them in with song
And brought them to their knees

The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
She’d smile when she lied
Full of fear and loathing
Unknown to the outside
She fed on the brighter hopes of men
A cold-hearted game
She made bitter fools out of them
And they left in shame

The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?

Far away
From across the sea
I heard a sound
Her voice was calling me
Then she tore my ship apart
Like a strange sadistic art
Who could believe such cunning to deceive?
An alluring creature with tricks up her sleeve
So long Genevieve

The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
Make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?

Genevieve left a trail of love crimes
And a wake full of woes
Like a siren for these modern times
And that’s how the legend goes
But a word of warning to the wise
Don’t be so bold
As to look into her eyes
She can turn your heart to stone
To stone.
So long Genevieve.

Ingenious Devices

The string ensemble is a great addition, especially on Brooklands. Now you'll have to sacrifice to the prog tradition and have a concert with a symphonic orchestra. And I'll have to fly to London to see it! Can't wait to see you in NJ! annapolis-sunrise

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
