lyrics

I’d like to stay a lifetime
In the cottage by the sea
Where there’s woods and beasts and mountains
And a monstrous family-tree

I’d wake up in the morning
Children playing on the moors
We could stay until the sun sets
Stay, and lead our life outdoors

When you wake up
The sun will shine
And you’ll be fine
And you’ll have
Lots of time
Sort out your weary mind

And when the moon is shining
We’d be sitting by the stove
When night makes its appearance
We retreat to the alcove

The wind stirs in the pine trees
Fairies dancing in the dark
And heaps of forest spirits
Just can’t seem to stop their lark…

I was in a grove of tall
Walnut trees that shades
One side of the valley

I had wandered into it at noontime,
When nature’s peculiarly quiet

And was startled by the roar
Of my own gun
As it broke the stillness

And was prolonged and reverberated
By angry echoes

Should I ever wish for
A retreat where I
Might steal from the world and its distractions

I know of none more promising
Than this little valley

When you wake up
The sun will shine
And you’ll be fine
And you’ll have
Lots of time
Sort out your weary mind
