THE GORGEOUS DANCE OF TIME lyrics
based on a translation of Raghs Ghashang Lahzeh ha
from the Persian
by Joel Sattler

the flower woke up and then it opened its eyes
counting the heartbeat of life in moments of time
from all the lovers of life both the old and the new
it gave its heart to the glorious butterfly

life is involved in the gorgeous glorious dance of time
with all its many laughters and cries
the joy of your laughter can be heard far away
sitting as a masterpiece in a simple wood frame

in the thirsty realm of my simple wood heart
the flower bloomed out of your love from the start
I heard the sound of a simple wood guitar
it tore away from the sorrow apart

the gorgeous dance of time
is part of the heart that beats in this very song ha ha ha
the silence in your eyes it plays along
the night is just an excuse to get very drunk

our kisses combine with the sound of the song
to make a dance out of this glorious rhyme
a gorgeous dance of this glorious time

time is just a dance of loving
love is just a chance of giving
time is what we use for living
from the very start of beginning
round the sun we all are spinning
in an endless endless line
in this gorgeous dance of time
