Leafy Mysteries

And these leafy mysteries

And the silence of the eve

And in the shady trees I swing

And in the dappled orchard's heat

Where I lie and wait

Wait for the breeze

To carry me

To a place I can lose myself

No time, just somewhere else

With a face I can recognize

I forget sometimes

It's always been here

And all these leafy mysteries

And the changing of the seas

And all the secrets of the tide

Just open up the world I find

So small to me

When there's so much to see

So much to be

Day off and the grasses hiss

Get up, last we lips say kiss

See now that you're part of it

I forget sometimes

It's always been here

And all these leafy mysteries

Have always been and always will

And in the shady trees I swing

And in the dappled orchard's heat

Where I lie and wait

Wait for the breeze

To hunger me

Wait for the trees

To move and breathe
