Richard's Notes:
"Eve", written in 1968,was inspired by an episode of a suspense anthology that was on TV at the time. Different stories were featured each week with a variety of guest stars. One starred Carol Lynley and was entitled "Eve". This triggered in me the opening lines both lyrically and musically, after which I completed the melody and John did likewise with the lyrics. Additional recording and remix done in 1987. Engineered by Roger Young.
LYRICS:
Eve I can't believe
That you could mean
What you just said
Think of what you are
How very far you are from being real

Look into the mirror
Nothing there to see
Eve I can't believe
You'd really leave him

Notice how her image saddens
How lonely she's become
Just once I'd like to see her happy
Before the winter comes

Eve, I wouldn't lie
The open sky is not your home
Wide as it may be
Reality is here among the stones

Thorns among the roses
Add to what is real
Eve, you are a rose
Among the thorns here

I wish her only good times
Before the winter comes
