Lotus Man

In the sand listening to the water song
While the silent sand dissolves us
Take my hand silent too we’ll drift along
Til the lotus man absolves us
And we’ll whittle down the hours
Throw away the days
We’ll ring our world with flowers
While the other world decays
In the night listening to the city sound
Of the people who ignore us
We’ll take flight with the stars, ether bound
Only galaxies to bore us
And we’ll whittle down the hours
Throw away the days
We’ll ring our world with flowers
While the other world decays
In the dawn listening to the distant drums
And the distant cannon firing
We’ll be gone long before the battle comes
Just the thought of war is tiring
And we’ll whittle down the hours
Throw away the days
We’ll ring our world with flowers
While the other world decays
