Jade Garden

She's been moving under my skin
From the moment I walked in
Sunday at the jade garden

The simple spell, the playful look
I took it all, bait and The oldest trick left in the book

Now I speak like a child, my thoughts are not my own
They run wild, up her stairs, across her floor
Down her hall and through her door

She says trust your intuition
The universe is guiding your life
You'll get nowhere standing still
Every excess becomes a vice

Your money's no good here, she said
Lotus flowers filled my head
Jasmine leaves were what she read

And she said
'I'll tell you everything you need to know
. . .the beginning of wisdom is to desire it. . .
Show you all you need to know
Everything you need to know

Now I speak like a child, my thoughts are not my own
They run wild, up her stairs, across her floor
Down her hall and through her door

She says trust your intuition
The universe is guiding your life
You'll get nowhere standing still
Every excess becomes a vice

And all that's hidden now
Will soon be revealed, you will see
Do not mistake temptation for opportunity

She's been moving under my skin
From the moment I walked in
Sunday at the jade garden
