SONGS & DREAMS
OF OTHER THINGS
about
THAT WHICH IS NORMAL

by Jeffrey Murrell

SO LOVELY


Listen to the train,
So far away,
Moving slowly
Through the morning.

Can't you hear the sound
Out of sight but all around?

Driving in the sun
With the windows down
A piece of heaven
Awakens in my head.

Just like being young!
Like flying high above!

So lovely! So lovely!
(Though my love is far away.)

Listen to the rain
Falling softly
Upon the roof
Above your room.

Walking in the spring
In the green of greens
Though the sky is dark
The air feels so warm.

So many happy thoughts!
Soothing and so calm!

So lovely! So lovely!
Are the things that comfort me.
