lyrics

have you ever seen the white lilies growing
down by the railroad track
they cut them down and covered with stones
but every year they grow back
how sweet how strange

have you ever heard the little wattlebird on the wind
whispering the answering your longing to hear
only for that feeling to disappear
before you had a chance to name it
how sweet how strange

mine is the river that comes down from the mountain
mine is the city and all its fountains

have you ever fallen to your knees
pleading with a sky so blue
the gentle breeze wakens and sends
a blanket of blossoms upon you
how sweet how strange

mine is the winter and the long dark hours
mine is the springtime and a myriad flowers
how sweet how strange
