lyrics

In The Garden / On The Mound

Scene I. (In the tulip gardens at midnight, late spring)

Tulip array; in abundance ---
As Psyche opens her wings
I have seen things in the cold night air
I have seen things that I know are not there
Out in the gardens at midnight
In ground frost and moonlight

I know things are not easy
I know times are not well
As the butterfly spins with colourful wings
I see double the scene reflected in the green of your eyes

Scene II. (Early spring, a vast and sun-lit field at noon)

Daffodil mound in the sunlight ---
Beating the air, she sweeps low
There are things I know --- in the corn fields in spring
I’m sure I’ve seen her --- I have found things
New life in the fields behold
Physical death cannot claim the soul

I know things are not easy
I know times are not well
As the butterfly spins with colourful wings
I see double the scene reflected in the green of your eyes

I know things are not easy
I know times are not well
As the butterfly spins with colourful wings
I see double the scene reflected in the green of your eyes
Double the scene reflected in the green of your eyes
