"A Thousand Orchids" lyrics

"A Thousand Orchids"

You'll find no witches waiting here
No ghosts hidden within the dark
Look for the beacons that show the way
The colours go straight to your heart

It's so very human to feel that we can't say goodbye

Only a thousand orchids
No one can hold on to this

My memory stays wild as the seasons
Rewriting the stories at will
Forging a path to the elegance
Of those rambling Elysian Fields

It's so very human to live as if nothing will end
Though no one's immortal, our secrets will let us pretend

Only a thousand orchids
Scattered in the sky
No one can hold on to this
When it's time
The beauty we've lost, it stays eternal
In our minds
Always a thousand orchids

Only a thousand orchids
Scattered in the sky
No one can hold on to this
When it's time
The beauty we've lost, it stays eternal
In our minds
Always a thousand orchids
