the beautifully uncomplicated soothing melody juxtaposed with the lyrics of feeling tangled brings a sense of serene comfortable meloncholy. another great track.

And the mountains echoed when you called out my name
I was in the swamp lands just trying to find my peace
Thought I was hearing voices but they all sounded the same
So I listened closely and this is what they said

Freedom 
lies here
Beneath
Sunlight

All you need is
Red leaves
And white clouds 
In blue skies

I’ve been disillusioned facing mass confusion
Isolating myself from what seems to be a  foregone conclusion
No I can’t explain it how this world is painted
With colors so intrinsic it simply must have been created

I let my troubled mind float on and on like leaves on this river so blue
Doubt subsides and I know what I want I wanna live here with you

Freedom 
lies here
Beneath
Sunlight

All you need is
Red leaves
And white clouds 
In blue skies

Facts and feelings coincide so briefly
Then they start peeling away
Light begins to manifest 

Freedom 
lies here
Beneath
Sunlight

All you need is
Red leaves
And white clouds 
In blue skies

I let my troubled mind float on and on like leaves on this river so blue
Doubt subsides and I know what I want I wanna live here with you
