Leafy Mysteries
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
and these leafy mysteries
and the silence of the eve
and in the shady tree's I swing
& in the dappled orchards heat
where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to carry me
to a place I can lose myself
no time just somewhere else
with a face I can recognise
-I forget sometimes
that's always been here
And all these leafy mysteries
& the changing of the seas
& all the secrets of the tide
just open up the world I find-
so small to me
when there's so much to see -
so much to be -
day up & the grasses hiss
get up! Like sweet lips they kiss
see now that you're part of it
I forget sometimes
That's always been here
And these leafy mysteries
Have always been & always will
& in the shady trees I swing
& in the dappled orchard's heat
-where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to hunger me-
wait for the trees
to breathe in to me
