Story

Alex worked at his father's record shop but also started doing a gig playing live improvised scores to silent films at a local cinema. After each gig Alex would transcribe as many of the improvisational themes as he could recall. Alex did notate some of these improvised compositions. One that have been reinterpreted was 'Zombie', but an unfinished score is all that has been found. It was at this local cinema that Alex met schizophrenic, cinema-goer Jemima Snow, who would later become a founding member of The Colors. He fell madly in love with her but knew that the age difference was too significant. She was 52 when they met. She committed suicide in 1959. So it goes.

Lyrics

I lost my way again I lost it in the mire Lost my way to the marketplace And lost the eiffel tower The hanging flowers, the pyramids, I lost the wall of china I lost my way to heaven's gates But hell was round the corner Lacrimosa, they said to say the traveller's lost their way Lacrimosa, the traveller's lost their way
