They call him Lukas, climbing the stairs to talk to you Coming to tell his stories, every single one of which is true Well hello Lukas, I'm pleased to meet, now how do you do
So they go driving, out to the river like lovers You smell of the summer, maybe the summer just smells of you One day I'm going to 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 away
I thought you'd never ask I thought we would never last
Now here comes Lukas, he'd done everything he wanted to It was 20 years later, come back to what he promised to He'd come back to make her happy, but these things don't always wait for you And poor Lukas was lat, 'cos when he got back she'd been married a day, gone away
I thought we would never last I thought you'd never ask
And Lukas would say For a million lonely people another lonely day For a million hearts that open, a million break And 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
