Lyrics
Shop windows, wooden signs,
Spring designs,
Hand-painted dolls and china
Trimmed with vines.
Old-fashioned coats displayed,
Wide silk ties,
Red awning, white brocade,
Warm, wise eyes.
CHORUS:
Its getting gauzy; its misting over.
Its overgrown with four-leaf clover
Half-asleep or half-awake,
Blissful sighs on a Leisure Lake.
Can we get this on tape
So we can run it again?
Ill even settle for a rear-view mirror
With objects not as close as they appear.
BRIDGE:
I squint, I look back, I search for a time that never was,
A place that never existed, I can almost see it.
Lace curtains, open weave,
Gently sway.
Sun filters, budding leaf,
Blue clay vase.
Stone stairway, fresh new linen,
Crystal tray.
Pink petals, worn-out cotton,
Flawless day.
CHORUS
