A Kind of Eden

The Orchids

A little slice of pop heaven today — a song more people should know because it’s special. A real love song that’s full of infatuation and joy. A guest vocal, I know but it’s Pauline’s voice that surprises in the spotlight — and carries the choruses too. Hackett’s vocal is buried, but it’s there and helps it all feel 100% Orchids. Love the organ in the mix — and that little classical guitar solo at 2:40 is lovely, memorable. Do you mind if I sit and watch you? ❤️

What a wonderful time that was
I was happy with you and a life that tossed in the wind
Someday I'll toil to write it down
Yeah, one day I'll reveal it to you, my love
Repeat your name, I'll never stop
You'll never know how much I care

What can I do when I'm beside you? (What can I do?)
What can I say when I'm around you? (When I'm around you)
All of this for just one kiss, wouldn't change it for the world
(Wouldn't change it for the world)

You've been very kind
Do you mind if I sit and watch you?
Sigh and say
I wouldn't change it for the world
A kind of Eden in my mind
A kind of heaven I will find
When I hear you say that you really care

But what can I do when I'm beside you? (What can I do?)
What can I say when I'm around you? (When I'm around you)
All of this for just one kiss, wouldn't change it for the world
(Wouldn't change it for the world)
