Why can I not find the lyrics to Paradise Gardens by Sheila E anywhere online. Can somebody please post them. I love this song.

I love this song. I know the credits say Sheila and Constance Guzman wrote it, but Sheila's b-sides seem to be very difficult to get any accurate information on. I can't be sure, but I've wondered if Prince had involvement in this song simply because it sounds (to my ears, anyway) somewhat similar to Eternity. But Paradise Gardens is a million times better than Eternity, I think.

Anyway, these are what I think the words are. The bold lines are the ones I'm really not sure about, but I believe I'm right with the other lyrics. See what you think.

I breathe when you breathe

I bleed when you bleed

Every bold story was told

A woman and a man

The forbidden disrobe

Children of wonder

Their faces all aglow

Like a bath in thunder

Their passion, it grows

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

Holding a candle

She cried by the bed

Holding the blanket

He watched her as she bled

Faced with the night

Their bodies entwined

Dreams laid to rest

The moonlight was kind

Lost in the gardens they called paradise

Too young to remember the sacrifice

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

Paradise garden

I never heard this song, but the verses production sounds are all Prince type instrument voices and levels, maybe stuff was sampled off of another Prince song and revamped? The chorus production and arrangement sounds unlike Prince (especially the harmonies on the vocals).
