Zen Garden

A calm, meditative song. Lyrics: Verse 1: Morning on the back steps Tea gone cold in the cup Tracing the circles in the sand Pebbles and stones break [up Trail across the gravel I’m standing here alone Mysteries that unravel At the lake where I skim the stones Chorus: Zen Garden Calm my restless mind Zen Garden Leave my troubles behind Zen Garden Place where I choose to stay Zen Garden Soothe my troubles away Verse 2: Sunlight filters through the Gaps in the bamboo screen Slow the world outside Until it’s a fading dream There’s no past no future Just the present in my head Climbing off the rollercoaster To slow down instead Chorus: Zen Garden Calm my restless mind Zen Garden Leave my troubles behind Zen Garden Place where I choose to stay Zen Garden Soothe my troubles away Middle 8: I can’t face the world outside these four walls Tiger pacing slowly down the paper hall Verse 3: Koi fish on the surface There in the tranquil pool Down the stream behind Where the water runs cool I can’t move the mountain And so I move the grain Such a peaceful feeling Sunshine after the rain Chorus: Zen Garden Calm my restless mind Zen Garden Leave my troubles behind Zen Garden Place where I choose to stay Zen Garden Soothe my troubles away
