Lyrics Osvaldo's Groceries - Proto-Kaw

Osvaldo's Groceries

Picture this… you're standing by a river
Friends are all around you
Something new… that’s carried on the wind
Never known more true
Like a dream… it all seems so familiar
Still there’s something strange
Is this home, or are you moving out of time?
No time… all out of time
Autumn days, Copper in the sunlight
Winter bright and clear
Halcyon, prosperous and golden waits
Still out of time…
This we know, but don’t know why
Those that live but cannot die
Eyes that see — and never lie
It’s the scene you haven’t seen, the song that’s never played
It’s an image standing tall, that you never made
It’s a portrait with no paint, a novel without word
It’s a message that you know… though you never heard
It’s a table set for all
It’s a standing invitation from the streets out to the fields
In every nation there’s a thread that reaches all
There’s a seed of recognition, it’s a doorway open wide
Though you never heard at all
Picture this… you're standing in the garden
No one’s ever seen it
Beauty reaches out in all the distance
Perfect without end…
This we know, but don’t know why
Those that live but cannot die
Eyes that see — and never lie
