lyrics

it can't always be clover and cool to the touch
the end goes before us and not by that much
as a child i dreamed of an unweeded world
that was covered in clover, covered in clover.

the wandering of prophets, predators, and prey
they reenact their circuits with every new day
you might look in vain for a savior to stop it
the wandering of prophets, the wandering of prophets.

the men in town were wary of madam van Lew
they waited 'til her passing to run her house through
their children had to live with this, be glad it wasn't you
who thought that he was better than Elizabeth van Lew.

just listen to the river, swollen with rain,
just listen to the church bells, how they complain
that once they had regiments of souls to deliver,
just listen to the river, listen to the river.

it can't always be clover the forbears might say
the fruits of their labors have withered away
if it was bound to happen anyways than it's OK
and moreover it can't always be clover, it can't always be clover.

Very interesting combination of oriental and jazz. I would not call this smooth jazz, it's innovative and thought-provoking. Just not loud. ettinger6
