lyrics

Jasmine

This song is a lyrical collage. Inspired by Meher Baba's Beloved Mehera - the feelings she might have had as both an older woman and a young girl. The younger voice has ellipses...

Jasmine fills the air
...When I first saw you
...I felt shy
Sun beats down
Drink a cool glass of water
...I was attracted to your hands
...And your energy and your eyes
Mint and lime
All our days
Are etched in my mind
Etched in my heart
I look at our photograph
...I was so drawn to be with you
I shed a tear
A lifetime spent together
Now you’re not here
...Then you asked me to
You’ve gone away
...something fine
...come and spend time
Flown away
...together
Like a white horse
...You,
Running across the field
across the mountain, across the valley
across the miles
I walk in the garden
...Who knew,
And talk to people, to friends
...how long it would last
who ask about you
...To be with you
How very happy
Our time together was
So very happy
The boat ride
...Lifetime, days go by, lifetime
sun falling
...Lifetime together
pink and purple sky
...How long did I wait for this,
Raindrops fall and
...how long?
Clouds gather in the distance
...Only in dreams
Drunken raindrops fall
...Flying, flying, flying
...Through the centuries
Feeding the parched earth
The Omar tree, I see your face
