A place where everyone knows
One more day
Is not enough
And no one longs to go home
Because you don't have to close your eyes

You can count the feathers of a sparrow as it flies overhead
And tune your heartbeat to the pace of a hummingbirds wings
Faint to hear as the world melts away

It's a place where flowers
Need not be sacrificed
Plucked and shortened from life
All in the name of love

People give plants and seeds
Of trees that last a lifetime
Year on year colours will splash
And they forever will bloom

Springs of water
In individual gardens
Doves roam freely
And gnomes are all the safety a home needs

A persons tongue can give you
The taste of his heart
And there you will be bound
Dancing on the tip
Unfolding a mystery
Beauty beyond reason
