Changing State of Mind
Verse 1
Looking from outside to within,
my Changing State of Mind
In the silent dawn the train waits patiently
By the platform with no sign
a mystery journey lies ahead,
with no stated destination
guided by the northern star
where the railway tracks keep changing,
to a place where time stands still
a Changing State of Mind.
Verse 2
We reach the Point between two seas,
feel changes in the air
I clear my mind, so I can roam free
waves of warm feelings wash over me
Heat flowing through my third eye
I stand outside myself,
gazing down from up high
From the vastness of the purple sky
my soul is a mirror in a crystal pool
a Changing State of Mind.
Bridge
Late in the day, shadows gently sway
cicadas chatter in the sultry haze
marmosets jive in the trees, movies start to play
swirling scenes of my past tumble into place
Faces calling to me, golden ghosts ablaze
a long-departed friend, drops by
Smiles and memories of just being
The simple way we lived our lives,
postcard moments of lovers shared
energy flowed, our passion bared
I see the swallows soar and carry me
to a Changing State of Mind.
