Lyrics
[Intro] [Wooden Rake & Felt Piano]
Wooden teeth draw circles in sand
Carved by a dedicated hand
[Verse 1] [Felt Piano & Upright Bass]
Rock garden by temple wall
Standing quiet through the fall
Concentric lines on granite floor
Like silence ripples at the shore
Mossy stones placed with care
Beside green boxwood hedge
[Pre-Chorus] [Rhodes Chords & Brush Snare]
Not a footprint on the sand
Purest beauty in the land
[Chorus] [Minimalist Serene Zen Drop]
Concentric ripples raked upon granite gravel
Where our tangled thoughts unravel
Inside the courtyard of silent hall
Answering the mindfulness call
Gaze on, breathe slow, let patterns stay
[Verse 2] [Nylon Guitar & Upright Bass]
Gold ginkgo leaf falls on white
A gentle spark of autumn light
I drink my roasted barley brew
Finding my spirit clear and new
[Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Belt & Piano Solo]
Patience carved in every line
Timeless, elegant design
Sand, stone, silence and open heart
Where all true wisdoms start
[Chorus] [Full Grand Minimalist Climax]
Concentric ripples raked upon granite gravel
Where our tangled thoughts unravel
Inside the courtyard of silent hall
Answering the mindfulness call
Gaze on, breathe slow, let patterns stay
[Outro] [Rake Set Down & Breeze]
Raked white gravel...
Zen courtyard.
[Fade Out]
[End]
