A Timeless Place Composer(s): Norma Winstone - Jimmy Rowles Performer(s): Jeri Brown & Jimmy Rowles and multiple other artists
The window looked out onto a pattern never ending A flower and trees and little paths far descending To the garden far below us, the pavilions in the sunlight Where the peacocks proudly grace the scene The vision, a timeless place, another way of living You moved in so close I really thought that you were giving I allowed myself a moment to believe that you could love me To reflect upon what might have been The summer sky I saw reflected in the colour of your eyes But somehow I could never peel away the layers of disguise I'm drowning now, I'm slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green Where what you are is never seen How can anybody know you? I still hear the ringing of the church bells in the morning The peacocks still call out their sad and bitter warning Take a final look around you Hold the memory forever Find a quiet place inside where You can listen to the things your heart is saying Beauty's only an illusion, here your truth is an intrusion A mirage is all it's ever been
