Oh you rush to and fro to attain, though you dwell upon the shore of history.
The voice you should have heard in is the letter of the Word.
Come with me dear friends and you'll see.
See my life, as it was yesterday. See my life, as it was today.
Take my hand and I will show you. Within the moment lies the mystery.

Oh you seek here and yon in your quest, and arrive at the hour of regret
Come fly without distress to the shelter of the nest
Close your eyes, your ears, and forget.
Forget life, as it was yesterday. Forget life, as it was today.
Take my hand and I will show you. Within the moment lies the mystery.

Come, behold him. Standing there within.
The Garden of Ridván, come join the caravan.
I'm sure you'll understand.

Oh you rush to and fro to attain, though you dwell upon the shore of history.
The voice you should have heard in is the letter of the Word.
Come with me dear friends and you'll see.
See my life, as it was yesterday. See my life, as it was today.
Take my hand and I will show you. Within the moment lies the mystery.
See my life, as it was yesterday. See my life, as it was today, hey hey hey.
Won't you come and come and see my life, my life, my life.

In the sea of consciousness I knew you, knew you, knew you.
In the sea of consciousness you loved me, loved me, loved me.
But this world is a dark world, with a black sun. Can I run to you?
And ah, just the thought of you makes me wander back
To the innocence you gave me, so long ago. Am I too late to go?

In the sea of consciousness you called me, called me, called me.
In the sea of consciousness I answered, answered, answered.
But this world is a dark world, with a black sun. Can I run to you?
And your perfection's perfectness have the mercy in
Which we all came to know you, so long ago. Am I too late to go?
Sea of Consciousness. Am I too late to go?

The lull of night brings you before me dressed in distant Land of Nod
And within my heart beholds you growing there within the sod
But eye beneath the perfumed brow. Why look to me again?
You are seldom's sister how to tell my never's friend.

In the quiet of hope's surrounding where you teach a passion song
And bid it sing of love abounding to ev'ry hate among the throngs
But mouth adorned with honeyed tongue. Why speak to me again?
Your song seldom's sister sung to tell my never's friend.

In pleasure's garden you have wandered, throbbing in the dust of aim
Helping all my friends of wisdom, kindling light and answer rain
But flower of certain's ancient season. Why send your breath again?
You're seldom sister's reason for remaining never's friend.

You talk of love in endless riddles, the truth is bent to fit your teeth.
Your ears hear only necessary words and thoughts that make you breathe.
From out of the depths of want you wander, searching for familiar sound.
Of some unsuspecting sorrow, on his way to not be found.

Like a ravel gone unnoticed, 'til the cloth begins to tear.
One small grain of salt in water, at first is not so hard to bear.

Out of an hour or day you're born to play your harp and wear your gown.
Hiding, waiting, for the right one on his way to not be found. Not be found.
Should our paths cross each other I'll keep my eyes fixed on the ground.
I'll keep right on walking past you, rather than to not be found. Not be found, not be found.

To fill one's pipe with dreams of amber, to taste the smoke is ecstacy.
But the one who claims the clouds won't let you know serenity.
Lips that part with sweetened danger, moist with ill and evil sound.
Await their chance to take the stranger to the land of not be found.
Not be found, not be found.

The leaves of laughter fluttering around my head. Insane desire fills the pillow on my bed.
Each time I think of all the happiness you've brought, I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.
The silver eagle of your love declared its place. Its flight of splendor I still carry on my face.
I've known the emerald of the peace that I once sought. I'll remeber you in the birthday of my thoughts.

See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.

The daylight and the darkness finds me wishing you were here. Your presence's faded but I will not shed a tear.
Don't ever feel that it was foolishly bought. I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.

See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.
See my love, see my love.

The sweat of my mind tells myself that I should worry.
Me, I tell myself that I am not supposed to worry.
'Cause I can worry anytime, anytime what to do, if I'm in tune.

The pain of my thought leaves its home so I can't be sure.
So I tell my thoughts that my soul will have to endure.
'Cause I can solve all my hangups before, before soon, if I'm in tune.

While I'm in tune, while I'm in tune.
Let me weave my happenin'
Let me tell you, let me show you.
While I'm in tune, while I'm in tune.
Come see my mind in bloom, when I'm in tune.

The words of my tongue seem to leave me no sensation.
The words in my world cannot describe my creation.
But I can create anytime, anytime I find room, when I'm in tune.
(Oh come and listen while I sing my song for you).

While I'm in tune, while I'm in tune.
Let me weave my happenin'
Let me tell you, let me show you.
While I'm in tune, while I'm in tune.
Come see my mind in bloom, when I'm in tune.
Tune, tune, in tune, tune. . .

Milk the cows of gladness, before they all run dry.
Search the rim of madness, before you lean and sigh.
Become a parch of dryness, before you stoop to drink.
Ascend the arch of whyness, before you try to think.

Now lay me down, lay me down.
Churn the butter of happiness. And be my guest.
Milk the cows of gladness.

Put them out, out to pasture, beneath the olive trees.
That line the hillsides of a distant gracefulness.
So they might feed and flourish in abundance.
And you and I may live.

Dye the shirt of wisdom, the colors of the west.
Approach the skirt of isdom, with waves that mount and crest.
Feed the hay of havoc, to the mouths that starve for such.
And milk the cows of gladness, with a firm and gentle touch.

Now lay me down, lay me down.
Churn the butter of happiness. And be my guest.
Milk the cows of gladness.

Put them out, out to pasture, beneath the olive trees.
That line the hillsides of a distant gracefulness.
So they might feed and flourish in abundance.
And you and I may live.

Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary. But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary.
Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one.
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.

Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory. But earth is my sorrow, my curses' depository.
Give me a table beyond the clouds where there's enough food to feed all the crowds.
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.

Let me hear my other voice who guides me now but gives me choice.
Tell me where to find the friend should He pass this way again.
Remember Akka for his sake, the earth is but a snake to His voice that spake.

Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary. But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary.
Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one.
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.

The Valley of Search. The Valley of Love.
The Valley of Knowledge and Unity.
The Valley of Contentment. The Valley of Wonderment.
The Valley of True Poverty, and Absolute Nothingness.

You're just like Jekyll and Hyde, you better turn your tide, baby.
I know that person between ain't mean, baby.
So meet me at the corner of sanity, don't be late, baby.
I'm gonna ride Jekyll and Hyde right outta your life
And I don't mean maybe. (x2).

I'll be here come winter when the cold winds blow.
We'll watch the geese together to see which way they go.
And I won't have to tell you, then I'm sure you'll know.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.

I'll be here beside you when the grass is gone.
I'Il be here when water is stilled upon the stone.
There'll be songs and stories, we'll tell and then you'll know.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.

Ashes in the snow, ashes in the snow.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.

I'll be here to hold you when flowers are fast asleep.
When perfumes of the meadow no longer haunt the sheep.
My kiss will surely tell you I still love you so.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.

Ashes in the snow, ashes in the snow.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.

See the ashes in the snow.
Hear the cold winds blow. Ashes in the snow.
