Shade in the field

I wish for a grassland where flowers take cover,
with the grass
with the grass
A field without autumn,
no flowers perish.

I wish for a tree in the middle of the desert,
under its shade,
a sober sleeps and awakens drunk
with eternal wine
eternal wine

Shade, it’s a shade in the field
a place where our love would be sealed.

I wish for a universe where Saturn never concurs,
Venus
Venus
A joy for a soul without anhedonia

I wish to find a jewel from nowhere land
And a jewel at heart,
with a jewel at heart
that sheds tears with one hint
from the One.

Shade, it’s a shade in the field
a place where our love would be sealed.

I dream of a shade in the field
a shade where the pain would be healed
I sing in a shade in the field
a song of secrets concealed
see you in the shade in the field
a shade where our love would be sealed
Welcome to the shade in the field
and now the final word is revealed:

Shade in the field
