ENDLESS LAWNS

Afloat and all at sea, the stars align in threes
They're so fine and free, in blue, and in green
Like leaves on endless trees

Come climb the sky with me
Come hear and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
In love, in light, in key

I went out at night alone
The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit's wings
I bore my sorrow heavily

But when I lifted up my head
From shadows shaken on the snow
I saw Orion in the east
Burn steadily as long ago

From windows in my father's house
Dreaming my dreams on winter nights
I watched Orion as a boy
Above another city's lights

Years ago, dreams ago, and youth goes too
The world's heart breaks beneath its wars
All things are changed, save in the east
The faithful beauty of the stars
All things are changed, all things are changed
Save in the east the faithful beauty of the stars

So, come climb the sky with me
Come hear and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
In love, in light

In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light, in key
