lyrics

When I've had it with the built-up forest
And the hustle-bustle
I go for open-plains
Where I find my spiritual muscle
I go for blue-trees
And open-sky ceremonies
I go for rejuvenation of my heart
Reconnect my sensitivity

Beautiful Trees
Beautiful Trees

Lovers we breed, just like the Chinese
Throw away your delicious bag of golden cookies
Baby it's time to get free
Stop scrolling while you eat
I miss staring deep
Into the distant, dark recesses of people's ears
But if they've got music on
Why don't they drink it fully down
Instead of using it as background noise?
What happened to sitting down
With no lights and just sound?
Is music not enough?
Is music not enough?

Beautiful Trees
Beautiful Trees

.(Rain).

I seek colours, and the glory of things
They have faded, now I just see pictures of things
I seek feelings, and the romance of things
It has misted, now we just make lists of things
I take chick peas in two cupped hands
Let them fall, let them spread
All across the land
I pour vinegar into the red soil
I pour olive oil, and grind
Salt upon it all
I whisper vespers and love
Deep into the ground
Then see smoke rising from the sand
I look up and I see almonds falling from the sky
I open up my mind and
Then my hands

Beautiful skies
Beautiful skies.
