look around

this is the landscape that we`re in

there is the house we`ve built

and there`s our yellow dustbin

and just behind those trees

you can see the little barn

we used to jump into the hay

like we were diving in the ocean



walk through the garden now

and smell them herbs and spices

go strolling up that hill

to where the rotting stake is

you are looking down on me

and i am looking up to you

think again

now think again

about what you want do



all the promises you make i cannot keep

all the dreams you bring about are far too deep

and one more thing to make this misery complete

i wanna know

cause i don`t know

just why you want to go



look around

this is the landscape that we`re in

gracefully surging fields

a thunderbolt enlightening

the narrow path we used to walk

as if we`d sail the seven seas

to hide away and booze and fuck

like sailors out on shore-leave



all the promises you make i cannot keep

all the dreams you bring about are far too deep

and one more thing to make this misery complete:

it seems you played the game

just a little smarter

and while my brittle raft will sink

you go walking on the water



look around

this is the landscape that we`re in

the lake the trees the birds and bees

and everything`s revolving

the clouds between the sky and i

slowly drift apart

the rain will wash away the tears

and soothe your aching heart



all the promises you make i cannot keep

all the dreams you bring about are far too deep

and one more thing...
