1.
The hidden path to dharma All the while under foot We are all but a part of The warp and the woof A doorway blocked by A giant monk and bald headed nun Have I not paid the tarry Enough for everyone I’m letting go of all that I’ve ever known I’m letting go If only I could
2.
Peeking out, from a cloud Don't be shy I'll tell you why You belong to everyone Now you're gone What went wrong? My lonely patch of blue I can touch you on the water of a teardrop shaped lake I can touch you on the water My lonely patch of blue I call your name but nothing changes The wind, the rain hide your pain My lonely patch of blue
3.
I want you and you want me Then you don’t want me anymore Then I don’t want you anymore either Tell it to the rain When you leave here please go out The way that you came in Like the waft of rhubarb pie From an open window Tell it to the rain You know All in the wink of an eye We live and we die
4.
Bring me the eye of a black crow Fetch me a bucket of rain Tie a ribbon round the branch of a tall, dead tree For the wind to claim I’m gonna cheat the Reaper He won’t know my name I’ll be hiding in the cold, dark void Between the wick and the flame Well you think you want to live forever What the hell for? Bring me a handful of moonlight Dig me a shallow grave Build me a pyre out of earth and pine Let the fire rage I’m gonna cheat the Reaper He won’t know my name I’ll be hiding in the cold, dark void Between the wick and the flame Well you think you want to live forever What the hell for?
5.
Have I heard a weeping willow cry? Well maybe on a windy evening To bid the day goodbye Have I been in love? Then how’d it feel? Kind of like my heart on a grinding wheel When did life become a battlefield? Better ask a willow crying on the wind
