Ariadne’s Afternoon

Nerina Pallot

Five o'clock, a Turin sky
Where the day-end's sleepy shadows slide
A train of thought will wake you soon
I'll gaze up from Ariadne's afternoon

And oh, just like she, eternally
Bound up in fantasy
Comparing life I know to life in
Books and television shows
Just imitating
All the things they're faking

Coz it's hard enough
Just to love
Never mind the time and distance
Nothing could be so remiss as
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh

It's hard enough
Not to love
Nothing's gonna last forever
Maybe we could just endeavour
To try to get along together, we could see
Like Ariadne
Ariadne
Ariadne
Ariadne

And I believe you care for me
Though I'm not the girl you thought I'd be
The face may fit, the long dark hair
But that slowly, stern and sullen stare

And when I try my best just to connect
With that great part of you
The words all tumble out, those virgin vows
Well some would go without
That deeper meaning of unspoken feeling

Coz it's hard enough
Just to love
Never mind the time and distance
Nothing could be so remiss as
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh

It's hard enough
Not to love
Nothing's gonna last forever
Maybe we could just endeavour
To try to get along together, we could see
Like Ariadne
Ariadne
Ariadne
Oh Ariadne
Ariadne

And when I try my best just to connect
I feel you turn away
Your words all tumble out, they make no sound
And I am left without
Your deeper meaning of unspoken feeling

Coz it's hard enough
Just to love
Never mind the time and distance
Nothing could be more remiss than
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh

It's hard enough
Not to love
Nothing's gonna last forever
Maybe we could just endeavour
To try to get along together, we could see
Oh it's hard
Not to love
Nothing's gonna last forever
Maybe we could just endeavour
To try to get along together, we could see

Hey we could see, hey we could see

Oh we could see, see
