Where Am I?/ I'll Show You Where to Sleep |
Where Am I? |
I sit here in peaceful meditation by a river |
Watch my thoughts go floating down the stream of consciousness |
Never ever changing the direction of my dreaming |
To realise myself |
Nothing more or nothing less |
And as the hours slip away |
On this pleasant April day |
I sit and watch the flowers grow |
Where am I |
Where am I? |
I’ll Show You Where To Sleep |
Just paint a picture of the world |
In gentle pastel shades |
Indistinct and somehow blurred |
Like childhood escapades |
The painting box is rather dear |
But the paints themselves are cheap |
Leave your pack at the side of the road |
I’ll show you where to sleep |
Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side |
Of a field of burning corn |
The road opens out before you |
Like the womb where you were born |
There’s no need to pretend again |
To try and earn your keep |
Leave your pack at the side of the road |
I’ll show you where to sleep |
And crowds will gather in the sun |
As stone madonnas weep |
And the shepherd is a good man |
As he tends his flock of sheep |
In case you find your tortoise shell |
Is getting rather tight |
You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak |
And disappear from sight |
And I will stand guard over you |
As through the door you creep |
Leave your pack at the side of the road |
I’ll show you where to sleep |
