Now and again I take a stroll down memory lane
Over the hills, into the valleys, and across the plains
I must admit I loved a starlit night spent dancing in the rain
With those twin sisters named pleasure and pain
I prefer a sober view of life now
Before the majesty of it all I bow
Those who are not humble will in turn be humbled
And en route this mountain top even the best climbers have stumbled
Striving for perfection can surely drive a man insane
But strive for less and you have strived in vain
There was a time when the pursuit of truth had me reading and studying constantly
Now my only aim is to live this moment consciously
In order that the hands of time may forever stop
And in the sands of time many a soul has been lost
Only to be found again when the time is right
My sweet darling, do you have some time tonight?
We can dance away to that place where time doesn’t exist
Have you ever in your life experienced a time like this?
When all things previously thought separate reveal themselves as one
And with your eyes closed you can gaze gently at the sun
