"Lotus Flower" lyrics

"Lotus Flower"

I saw the lights go out over London
I got out under the bus again
We only see a reflection of ourselves
If only we asked what we must and
Nothing more

At home
I watched the heron stare for hours
At the moving water below
I have dreams I can't remember
So many things I can't let go

Time for answers
Time for singing songs
Time for loving you darling
Now the day is long

Lotus flower in her hair
It's enough my sweet little thing
There's a rainbow in my mind
And a softness to my dreams

There's an old man sits under the
Carob tree
Waiting for a familiar sound
When we change, we
Change together
If only we knew that now

Big moon s'atalaya
I shall hold you close
If I seem distracted at all
It's merely soft winds of the sea
The sight of islands off the coast

Lotus flower in her hair
It's enough my sweet little thing
There's a rainbow in my mind
And a softness to my dreams
