The sounds in my mind just come to me Come see, come see And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls Of me, of me In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile To be, to be What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me Come see, come see Visions of paradise, cloudless skies I see Rainbows on the hill, blue onyx on the sea Come see, ah, ah, ah And the sounds in my mind just come to me Come see, come see And the call of her eyes, makes waterfalls Of me, of me
