HELEN

music & lyrics by:
Dan Edelstein

(inspired by Homer)

The face that launched a thousand ships
remembers life before the Trojan War.

*****

i was the face that ended the world
there’s no trace of that pretty girl
life was such a bore
so i started a war

endless days
start again

now time has come
every power wants its hour in the sun

endless days
all over again
life is through
it’s all true
everything is through
all because of you

i needed something new
but now it’s through
i thought it could be you

what’s left but stories?
myths are histories
i needed something new
i thought it was you
i couldn’t stand the way
the days blurred into one

life was such a bore
but it’s really through
i needed so much more
all because of you
i started a war
life is through
all because of you
