    Story Behind the Song
    I had the music for months before I wrote the lyrics. I was looking for lyrics that reflected the gospel style chords of the bridge and had to wait for the right inspiration. The basic tracks were recorded live then I overdubbed the piano, vocals and acoustic guitar. There was an electric guitar track that I dumped.

    Lyrics
    Don’t shed a tear for me my dear
    I’m not worth the trouble
    I fall down onto the ground
    You don’t even stumble

    And when I kiss your sweet lips
    Don’t you taste my poison
    Because you can’t grow a fine rose
    In this ground that’s frozen

    When snow falls down and the harsh winds blow
    You shelter me from the cold
    But I still feel as cold as ice
    `cause I know
    I’m just a devil in paradise

    Watch me close for I don’t know
    If you can weather my storm
    If you’re smart you’ll break my heart
    Before I break yours

    One more game I try to play
    But I’m just a beginner
    It’s too late to put your faith
    Into such a sinner

    When snow falls down and the harsh winds blow
    You shelter me from the cold
    But I still feel as cold as ice
    `cause I know
    I’m just a devil in paradise

    I can be so happy here
    When you lift me up with your sweet prayer
    When I fall down you show you care
    And lift me up with your sweet prayer
    I am glad to find you there
    When you lift me up with your sweet prayer
    Like an angel you understand
    And lift me up with your sweet prayer
    Forgive me for my vice
    And let this devil stay in paradise

    Let me stay in paradise.
