The Very Thought of You

from NAKED TRUTHS by John Hanlon

/

lyrics

Gentle rustle whisper of the leaves
Hustle bustle buzzing of the bees
Far off thunder rain coming down
Runs down the rooftop
Falls on the ground
Out on the hillside cattle cry
Sound so mournful like somebody died
Winter flowers seek out the sun
Tui in the treetop happily in his song

The very thought of you here in my solitude
Instills a calm in me
Fills me with harmony
And I can’t say why so I just won’t try
There are sad songs
In the air of Muriwai

Rumble tumble rhythm of the waves
Seagull sings of all who have been saved
Children laughing clouds overhead
Old man hearing everything that’s said
And out above the cliff tops gannets dive
Hang glider wheeling feeling so alive
Distant rainbow capturing the sun
Some of us are walking others choose to run
