(la la la)
(mm mm)
The sun sinks down behind the wood
The leaves are turning cool and still
A single vine begins to bend
Across the trellis on the hill
No reason now to hurry home
The afternoon is giving in
The jasmine opens leaf by leaf
It does not ask the dusk for time
It simply breathes into the air
A scent as soft as summer wine
I listen to the quiet ground
And feel the evening moving in
Slowly now, step by step
Everything learns how to heal
In the quiet of the green
Learning how to feel
(learning how to feel)
My heart is quiet on the bench
Watching white petals softly part
There is no rush for what comes next
No sudden end, no heavy start
Just footsteps on the garden floor
And air that carries you away
Soft footsteps near the wood
(so soft, so soft)
The jasmine breathes again
(so calm, so still)
Step by step
It all comes back again
