I never went to see the gipsy
Or any wonders of the world
No leader ever could seduce me
I never lived by any word
But in another dark dimension
I sought comfort from a fiend
Saint Anthony in the desert couldn't have felt
More loneliness than me

A girl came rushing from my basement, screaming
You never believe what I've just seen
Soon I would meet my sweet Irene

And I never worry about the cold wind
That rules the surface like a ghost
But one day to become part of it all
Is what worries me the most
Her ponytail swings while she's walking
Her sweet eyes looking out for me
I wish that life was simply taking what you want
Wish I could shake of these bad dreams

The beer was stale, the girls were free and eager
In some noisy canteen
But I was longing for Irene

I never cared for any answer
I've never broken any fall
My life has been just like Tuesday's papers
When there is just no news at all
And love has always been a stranger
To a stranger I was shy
Trying not to look sideways
When love is giving me the eye

Woke up sudden from a nightmare, shaking
Found out I was in between
That's were I placed my sweet Irene

An angel must have felt from heaven
An angel lightning up the night
Just has caught my eye

Whatever wakes me in the morning
Revives me time and time again
When I'm to scared to find a reason
To give a meaning to my days

Saint John the Baptist by the river
Take my sins and wash them clean
So I can enter a most beautiful world
With the prettiest girl I've ever seen

Find me waiting by the doorway with my head down
I'll be humble as I bleed
Just to be with my Irene
I would bleed for my Irene

An angel must have felt from heaven
An angel lightning up the night
Just has caught my eye
