Heathaze

No cloud, a sleepy calm

Sunbaked earth, that's cooled by gentle breeze

And trees with rustling leaves

Only endless days without a care

Nothing must be done



Silent as a day can be

Far off sounds of others on their chosen run

As they do all those things they feel

Give life some meaning even if they're dull



It's time to stop this dreaming

Must rejoin the real world

As revealed by orange lights

And a smoky atmosphere



The trees and I are shaken by

That same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves

I just can't seem to let them loose



And they can't refresh me

Those hot winds of the south

Oh, I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place



Now the light is fading fast

Chances slip away, a time will come to pass

When there'll be none

Then addicted to a perfumed poison

Betrayed by its aftertaste



Oh, we shall lose the wonder

And find nothing in return

Many are the substitutes

But they're powerless on their own



Beware the fisherman

Who's casting out his line

Into a dried up river bed

But don't try to tell him

'Cause he won't believe you



Throw some bread to the ducks instead

It's easier that way

I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place



The trees and I are shaken by

That same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves

I just can't seem to let them loose



And they can't refresh me

Those hot winds of the south

I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place
