MANDOLIN AND I

I am stood here hitch-hiking beneath 

This Chiswick Motorway bridge

Dreaming of a World Peace to be

And my mandolin plays this timely tune

To hope we won't be lonesome soon

Shiny clean cars won't stop

Not for the likes of me

World Peace moves into another gear

Soon we've got to move on from here

How many ways, how many ways

The subtle lives intwine

Mandolin sing to me our song of tomorrow

How can we weave beyond these lines?

How to heal a hurt that's deep

In psyche of many-mannered man

New philosophy of old Earth

Mandolin sing to me

Proclaim to the sky such reasons 

Things could move on from here

A love that's spoke is love to stoke

The dreams of this theme we dare.
