They call him Lukas
Climbing the stairs to talk to you
Coming to tell his stories
Every single one of which is true
"Hello Lukas, I'm pleased to meet you
Now how do you do?"So they go driving
Out to the river like lovers do
You smell of the summer
Maybe the summer just smells of youOne day I'm gonna be a famous writer
Some book like 'Love In The Afternoon'
It was all Lukas could say
Maybe one day we could run away, run awayI thought you'd never ask
I thought we'd never lastNow here comes Lukas
He'd done everything he wanted to
It was 20 years later
Come back to do what he promised toHe'd come back to make her happy
But these things don't always wait for you
And poor Lukas was late 'cause when he got back
She'd been married a day, gone awayI thought we'd never last
I thought you'd never askAnd Lukas would say
For a million lonely people another lonely day
For a million hearts that open, a million breakAnd the world's just a fallen angel in my wake
High up in heaven you can hear them say
Looking for Lukas but Lukas was always running away
