Song: Vonda Shepard



I was so lost and you were so profound

You taught me how to fly with my feet still on the ground

And you told me to be what it is that I was

No matter what all of the businessmen said



Serious Richard, why do you frown like you do?

Why do you think the whole world is after you?

Well, you're probably right and it's probably true about me, too



'Cause sometimes the world ain't sweet

Oh these days, when was it ever?

Maybe it's just this city hurts

Oh Richard, I love you worse



Serious Richard

I often recall the time in the doorway in Paris

The time of the broken sinks and the broken hearts

And the broken weeds that we tore apart

Thinking they were flowers, thinking they were art



We were so smart, Richard

We liked our love, we loved to live

Out in the streets we knew how to give

We were alive, happy to be alive



You don't know my memory lingers

Or the message of your fingers



Serious Richard, where did you go?

I never thought an ending we would ever know

Now it's so cold without your love
