The Vanity Of Dulouz

I had a beach house in Maine for Memorial Day
Right on the water
I used to get up early and sit on the porch and
Watch the water cause no one was ever there
One morning I get up and there is this lone girl sitting on the beach
My first though was she was in Oasis and I?.
Take it all Take it all I'm but a poor cleric
I need it not
It's gone for
The Vanity of Dulouz

I had an apartment in Queens when I was younger
Outside my window you could seea little tree
I used to watch it while I got dressed in the morning
And one day this guy started coming and
Painting the tree, a new painting everyday
And I thought, this is how you build a forest
Take it all Take it all I'm but a poor cleric
I need it not
I gave it all for
The Vanity of Dulouz

I've moving to Dallas in a couple of days
Cause I need a change of scene
I bought myself a cowboy hat and a pair of boots
I hope I didn't miss the old west
Take it all Take it all I'm but a poor cleric
I need it not
It all went away for
The Vanity of Dulouz

And so we built ourselves a river
Unbeknownst to most
Only few could cross it,
They were the bridge
