Utopian Woman

Across an empty room, sitting on a rigid chair,
Is an angelic woman who is no longer there.
I walk across the room, hoping my eyes have lied,
I see no one there, though the air's sweet and tried....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.

I stand there and look, finding her nowhere,
No perfect face, no exotic eyes or hair.
To my knees I fall to pick up any trace,
The room was dark and clean, I had no case....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.

I traveled an empty street, sometimes after two,
All that swirled in my head was the thought and scent of you.
I wonder if you truly exist, or are a figment in my mind,
Do I need to tlook for you, or have I made this find....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.

Lying alone in my bed, moonlight plays a nasty trick,
Thought I saw your face through the moonbeam's flick.
Where could I have seen you, I don't really leave here,
Maybe I'll meet you in sleep, which I feel is coming near....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.

Morning saunters in rather hazy, I rise, meeting it halfway,
I try to remember you, all my head gets is gray.
Into the mirror I look, noticing something on my neck,
A strange marking, like lips, I rub my eyes in double-check....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.

Waltzing the town with a smile, I'm not crazy or delirious,
The woman of my dreams is somehow real, all so mysterious.
I wish I could sleep out the rest of my vital spark,
Just imagine the universes to which we could embark....

Utopian woman
Somewhere out there you're beyond all horizons;
Utopian woman
Someday, the way we'll discover to oblivion.
