Ariadne Says Lyrics

Ariadne says "Won't you smile for me

Like a postcard of a destination I will never see?

You bind yourself with words written in disappearing ink

But what you wrote upon my heart will always be distinct"

Oh Ariadne standing crying on the shore

Now that we are grown-ups we don't do that anymore

I'm not trying to call you up to any kind of war

I just need to stand you up and point you out the door

Ariadne says "It's a story as old as time

A woman, a promise made in earnest, a situation moving on

But sooner or later one of us must know

The tide is calling to you and I know you are going to go"

Yeah it's a story as old as time

Every day it's the same old song

The threads fall slack and are hard to follow

And the maze falls quiet and I cannot go

Ariadne says "I'll see you where the horizon bends

And I call into an ocean-going breeze and my voice carries on the wind

And my strings could guide but not bind you to the shore"

Oh Ariadne, was I the Minotaur?

Oh Ariadne am I the Minotaur?

Oh Ariadne am I the Minotaur?
