A Timeless Place (The Peacocks)

[Verse 1]
Windows looked out onto a pattern never-ending
Flowers and trees and little pathways far descending
To the garden far below us
The pavilions in the sunlight
Where the peacocks proudly grace the scene

[Verse 2]
A vision, a timeless place, another way of living
You moved in so close I really thought that you were giving
I allowed myself a moment
To believe that you could need me
To reflect upon what might have been

[Bridge]
The summеr sky I saw reflected in thе color of your eyes
But somehow I could never peel away the layers of disguise
I'm drowning now I'm slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green
Where what you are is never seen
How can anybody know you?

[Verse 3]
I still hear the ringing of a church bell in the morning
The peacocks still crying out their sad and bitter warning
Beauty's only an illusion
Here your truth is an intrusion
A mirage is all it's ever been

[Bridge]
The summer sky I saw reflected in the color of your eyes
But somehow I could never peel away the layers of disguise
I'm drowning now I'm slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green
Where what you are is never seen
How can anybody know you?

[Verse 4]
I still hear the ringing of a church bell in the morning
The peacocks still calling out their sad and bitter warning
Take a final look around you
Hold the memory forever
Find a quiet place inside
Where you can listen
Beauty's only an illusion
Here your truth is an intrusion
A mirage is all it's ever been
