lyrics

Spreading our seeds on currents of air.
House of shared refuge, church of the flower.

Come and go freely, whenever I care.
Chasing fat reptiles, over full, purple miles.

Dozens of cherubs awake with the sun
watching the galay's sparkling dust-cloud

Traveling artisans, biding their time.
out by the fire, converse and inquire

As fungus erupts from the dark fertile soil
Through bubbling stream beds of natural clay.

Billions of creatures are alive in the forest.
house-cats asleep
in the warm, gentle heat of the day.

Waking up early for coffee and wine
Time wanders drowsily, wading toward winter

Autumn lovers entwined in the sheets
slumbering sweetly, in the dream they've connected.

As I leave, sick, to my secret place by the river
where perfect landscapes form themselves in the sky

This land of mystery has been here forever
and has filled me with a peace I will feel
until the day that i die.
