Countryside

Inside every child’s eyes

There’s an invite to the countryside

Where the bashes of the day

Are softened by the clear touch of the rain

The sky remains the same

While time lightly declines and goes astray

And my lover looks as pure

As morning roses newly washed with dew*

Inside every man’s eyes

There’s a plea for the countryside

The gentle way they laugh

Seems to convey the softness of our path

While lingering around

The flames caressing every inch of the ground

My lover calls for me

And sets my heart alight and my soul free

Inside everyone’s eyes

There’s the promise of the countryside

Where all the world is green

And things are just exactly as they seem

All peace and harmony

Combine themselves inside a single seed

And as soon as she appears

We’re taken by the music of the spheres

Over the countryside
