Gaia
[Verse 1]
Oh my mother, dear mother
In your green clothes
I love you so much I walk
Endlessly down your brown paths
To the roads
Where the wheels, they spin endlessly
Moto-roulette
And the great wheels, they grind our lives
Selflessly flat
So the green parks and ballparks
And carparks spread wide
And we bitch at the bitumen
Covering the hillside
[Verse 2]
So my mother, my mother
I search out the places
Where I can lie flat
With my face in your clover
And over and over
I whisper your name:
Gaia, great mother of
Mountain and valley
[Verse 3]
Mother, dear mother
I climb your tall trees
And at the topmost position
I ride on your breeze
And I dream that one day
I will see you and be you
Again and again and
Again and again
[Verse 4]
Lady, I love you
As I always will
As that part of you
Walking the brow of your hill
Diving deep in the eyes
Of your clear water pool
Drawing sparkling conclusions
From deep down the wishing well
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 5]
Jewel of the lightening night
Calls me away
Is that moon in the lake
A reflection, or am I
Awake in your sky?
Draw me down like the rain
Roll me down to the sea
Raise me up and condense me
Like a mist in the trees
With a puff of your breath
Let the south wind blow through me
So the mist may be gone
And the sunset shine clearly
[Verse 6]
Just as Earth gives us birth
So like birds we could fly
She will make us immortal
By taking us back
When we die
