Gentle sun

Bear no secrets in your hollow mind now
try to make it sing inside the void
tell your story to the vestal virgins
try to sell it to the purple trees
and ask them, yes ask them
if they believe you
          early in the morning I shall rise
          early in the morning I get up
          people are going to church
          so ask them
          if they believe you

See the secrets of your inner dreamspace
it's a fine trip to your coloured eyelids
tell your dreams to the vestal virgins
and explain them to the purple trees
and ask them, yes ask them
if they believe you

           refr.

Hope for temples and for Japanese mountains
with the sounds and sights that live inside me
go share your hopes with the vestal virgins
try to pal up with the purple trees
and ask them, yes ask them
if they can help you

refr.
