El Pastor

(album: Ghost City - 2018)

Riding a river
Over the creek
Climbing a mountain
Crossing a stream
Only in dreams, only in dreams
Would I ever see this?
Only in dreams

Down in the forest
Air is so clean
Walking through nature I have never seen
Or even knew was there

Cat, bird, and deer
All live together

I can't believe it
Air is so clean
Walking through nature I have never seen

Everything's so beautiful;
In full colour

Out of the city
Over two weeks
Almost forgotten, the sadness it breeds
Work for a leader no-one has seen
Stare at a screen
These are your dreams

Out in the nature
Air is so clean
Looking at creatures I have never seen
Couldn't even name

And they speak, our language
And they speak, saying
"Everything's so beautiful, in full colour"

Never thought I'd see the sky
With bare eyes
Tall grasses everywhere
This cooling soft wind

Before you know, you'll find a home
Where nature grows in complex forms
And sends us far beyond the sea
The lake is ours, let's make it breathe

Before you know, you will soon find a home
Where nature grows
