Jonah and Peter (A Swinging Song)

Jonah releases a bark boat in a stream
Watching the waves
Sparkles and the beams
Jonah believes one can tell B from A
Light from the dark
Night from the day
Peter collects red peonies in a field
Ties up the bunch
Shields from the wind
Peter reckons time is free of the aims
Tomorrow might bring
More sun than today
Light's getting softer, these shadows laying long
Words getting less, the thoughts getting strong
Carefully gathering stocks of life
Memory seeds, the source of delight
Jonah says "Hey, there's the end at the left
Shall we turn round, or jump over the cleft, jump over the cleft"
Whatever happens the rain will remain
My way to inspire, relief from the pain
Whatever's been drawn will be well washed away
Refreshing the sight, start a brand new day
Though as distant bells of a thunderstorm ring
Friends could be lost in the fragrance of spring
Paths could be twisted in an unbridled way
Caught by the winds, carried away
Jonah still thinks that the roads have no end
No way to abstain, no need to pretend
Peter still wonders why they are not one
All that you've wished and all that you've done
All that you've wished and all that you've done
All that you've wished and all that you've done
All that you've wished and all that you've done
All that you've wished and all that you've done
And all that you've done
