Bound By the Beauty
[Chorus]
I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty
[Post-Chorus]
I'm coming back in five hundred years
And the first thing I'm gonna do
When I get back here is to see
These things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here
[Verse 1]
And first I'm gonna find a forest
And stand there in the trees
And kiss the fragrant forest floor
And lie down in the leaves
And listen to the birds sing
The sweetest sound you'll hear
And everything the dappled
Everything the birds
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant
The verdant
The verdant
The verdant green
[Chorus]
I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty
[Post-Chorus]
I'm coming back in five hundred years
And the first thing I'm gonna do
When I get back here is to see
These things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here
[Verse 2]
Then I'm gonna find an open field
And lie down in the flowers
And then I'm gonna find a guitar
And play, play, play for hours
And then I'm gonna find a river
To see what kind of body in
And everything the granite
Everything the kiss
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant
The verdant
The verdant
The verdant dream
[Chorus]
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound to keep returning
I'm bound by the beauty of the light
The slightest change, the constant rearrange
[Outro]
I'm bound by the beauty
Of light upon the land
I'm bound by the beauty of the wind
That blows across the earth
I'm bound the beauty
The unfetteredness the wheatness
And through the flying hair
I'm bound the beauty
The slowness of the falling leaves
Across this warm November door
I'm bound by the beauty
