Ballad Grounds from Anthrophony by Birds of Play

I’ve been roaming down solitary streets
Walking my own path with my own two feet
Life as I had know was chasing hopes and dreams
Love is a river, a wave, a sandy beach

In front of me now an elder stands
A fellow bum a lonely traveling man
His baby girl would soon be coming round
I’d have never guessed she’d turn my world upside down

I hadn’t thought for a minute
Of love now I’m in it
From the second I saw her pretty smile

We’ve been lost for hours
In fields of white sand and flowers
I think we’ll stay here for a while

Her old man set out to take a stand
Didn’t want to see his baby girl and a fellow bum hand in hand
The flame by now has grown strong
An elder bum seldom admits when he is wrong

I hadn’t thought for a minute
Of love now I’m in it
From the second I saw her smile

We’ve been lost for hours
In fields of white sand and flowers
I think we’ll stay here for a while

I told that girl one day I’ll marry you
A man of my word and those words I spoke were true
A strange passer by with a message softly spoke
Now that’s true love and disappeared amongst the folks

I hadn’t thought for a minute
Of love now I’m in it
From the second I saw her smile

We’ve been lost for hours
In fields of white sand and flowers
I think we’ll stay here for a while
