Lyrics
Pleasing
like a soft whispered greeting
Like a touch in the evening
The song of the sea
Dreaming a contrast in feeling
Like the stillness of winter
And a midsummer breeze
Ephemeral nights
When you want to stop time
Feeling inside
Everywhere, everything is fine
Everywhere, everything is fine
Fleeting
like a leaf floating downstream
Like a first meeting
A window in time
Seaming
a quilt of the good things
Like a wood thrush singing
And wind in the pines
Oh, how to decide, to know, to show, you’re alright
I’m here, no fear, I’m alright
Oh, turning upward and circling inside
Like a dust devil, it spins it turns ‘til it dies
Spins, turns ‘til it dies
And the dust blinded your eyes
It ends and you’re still alive
