Echo

Well, I try to close my eyes
 Clear my mind
 Just listen to the wildflowers grow
 Such whispers on the breeze
 It don't come easy now
 Over all this noise
 Spent my youth among the pine
 They used to sing a tune so fine
 And the wind moved like an echo
 Carryin' their voices
 And I saw it in a dream
 Monuments to trees
 As the air we breathe turned our lungs to dust
 And the redwoods so tall
 And all their awe
 Began to rust
 ♪
 With no bend and sway at all
 That ancient dance is lost
 And the wind moved like an echo
 Beside every gust
 ♪
 Well, some day I hope to find
 That land of funny wine
 Where the coffee grows on the white oak trees
 And those sugar coated mountains
 In the spring begin to melt into
 Sweetest streams
 Each night the starlight and the sea
 Together form eternity
 And the wind moves like an echo
 As the world drops off to sleep
