lyrics

A TIMELESS PLACE (The Peacocks) by Jimmy Rowles & Norma Winstone

The window….looked out onto a pattern, never ending…
A flower…and trees and little pathways far descending….
To the garden far below us….the pavilions in the sunlight….
Where the peacocks proudly grace the scene…

The vision….a timeless place, another way of living…
You moved in so close, I really thought that you were giving…
I allowed myself a moment…to believe that you could leave me…
To reflect upon what might have been…..

The summer sky…I saw reflected in the colour of your eyes….
But somehow i…could never peel away the layers of disguise….
I’m drowning now…I’m slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green….
Where what you are is never seen…how can anybody know you?

I still hear the ringing of the church bells in the morning…..
The peacocks still calling out their sad and bitter warning….
Beauty’s only an illusion….here your truth is an intrusion….
A mirage is all it’s ever been…….
