From the recording For personal reasons
Lyrics
I woke up when I was forty five
Strange things happened to me
I sit up there with stun in my eyes
The stream winds down to the sea
A butterfly in a yellow gown
Is dancing round my feet
I found such beauty just right out of town
My heart spares no effort to beat
Oh what a blaze
What a hush
What a light
Cold clear water runs through my hands
And through my mind
No mournful praise
Just love and haze
An evidence of a dawn
Life is always younger
Than the sun
I follow the trail up to the pass
I hope to recover my face
Brothers and sisters are everywhere
Just like rocks and stars out in space
I won't go back and hunt in a pack
I don't miss the heat and the noise
Come and join me up here in peace
Just you and me and the girls
Oh what a blaze
What a hush
What a light
Cold clear water runs through my hands
And through my mind
No mournful praise
Just love and haze
An evidence of a dawn
Life is always younger
Than the sun
