Peppermint Wind

I have a house on pistachio hill

With chocolate rows where the garden's tilled

And candy flowers in the window sill

Blowing in the peppermint wind

Coconut snow in the wintertime

Lemon-lime stream meandering by

Cotton candy clouds in an ice blue sky

Blowing in the peppermint wind

And when my life is good

I gather up the reasons why

And step into the wood

Where the mysterious hides

And with a thank you in my prayer

I offer my blessings to the air

And let 'em all go in the peppermint wind

In the day, like a smiling torch

The sun, with the rain brings the sweet corn forth

And ticky tacky chimes ringing on the porch

Are blowing in the peppermint wind

And late at night, when the sun retires

A night-owl sings on a licorice wire

And whipped cream smoke from a crackling fire

Blows in the peppermint wind

And when my life is hard

I gather up my cares and then

I step into the yard

And summon my gusty friend

Wait for that scent to fill my nose

Open my hands and let them go

I let my troubles go in the peppermint wind

And when my life is good....

I have a house on pistachio hill

Chocolate rows where the garden's tilled

Candy flowers in the windowsill

Blowing in the peppermint wind
