Bound by the Beauty - Jane Siberry

Thanks, Robert.

I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty

I'm coming back in 500 years 
And the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here

And first I'm going to find a forest
And stand there in the trees
And kiss the fragrant forest floor
And lie down in the leaves
And listen to the birds sing 
The sweetest sound you'll ever hear

And everything the dappled
Everything the birds
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant, the verdant green

I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty

I'm coming back in 500 years 
And the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here

And then I'm going to find an open field
And lie down in the flowers
And then I'm going to find a guitar
And play, play, play for hours
And then I'm going to find a river
To see what kind of body in

And everything the granite
Everything the kiss
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant, the verdant dream

I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound to keep returning
I'm bound by the beauty
