  • They call him Lukas
    Climbing the stairs to talk to you
    Coming to tell his stories
    Every single one of which is true

    Hello Lukas
    I'm pleased to meet you
    Now how you do

    So they go driving up to the river like lovers do
    You smell like the summer
    Maybe the summer just smells of you

    One day I'm gonna be a famous writer
    Some look like love in the afternoon
    It was all Lukas could say
    Maybe one day we could run away
    Run away

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    I thought you'd never ask

    Ooh
    Ooh
    I thought you'd never ask

    Ooh
    Ooh

    Now here comes Lukas
    He'd done everything you wanted to
    It was twenty years later,
    Come back to do 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 late
    'Cause when he got back she've been married a day,
    Gone away

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    I thought you'd never ask
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    I thought you'd never ask
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    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 is always running away

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

  • Nathan Whitfield from Chattanooga, TennesseeMargaret, I don't know when you posted this or if you'll check back, but I bought the CD a couple of years ago on Amazon. It's the album Come to Life by Natalie Imbruglia of course and you can buy it on Amazon. It's a great, underated album. I love it and yes I still play CD's. Hope this helps.
  • Margaret Trebilcock from Ancaster OntarioI would like to purchase this album “Come To Life” for my grandchild Lukas. We have made a memory box for him and I would like to add this album to his little box of memories. How can I purchase?
