Wake up late, day is still dawning 
Get out on the road 
Meet up with a man, his face well worn in 
He's carrying a load 
On the way to paradise 

Summer rain falls, head for some shelter 
Close to a wall 
See the lady dressed in chance, you try to help her 
She heeds your call 
On the way to paradise 

Find a hidden door that leads to a garden 
And venture through 
Sunshines bright, a witness to pardon 
The world that you knew 
On the way to paradise 

Ornamental, or warm and gentle 
On the way to paradise 
As you will some day 

All is well, the distant horizon, it's there in wait 
Get so close, you're so much wiser, but wake up late 
On the way to paradise 

Ornamental, or warm and gentle 
Can you tell heaven from hell 
As you will some day
