lyrics

She lay backwards out on the mattress
Long in love and heart of listening
Sea lion, sea lion's gone in an instant
Run and hiding in love and mystic
Gold for Byron silver for Leslie

Wizard Byron meets the oldest pasture
Love for David and love for Marley
See how gardens grow
At least be over the hills and beyond the city
Gold for byron silver for leslie

Rain comes raining when clouds reach the painting
Striking strait as the grass colour is changing
Then were all behind that old door your painting
Back to the stack of art your creating
Gold for Byrons hair auburn for Marleys

Rollin’ down to the sand comes Marley
Smiling wide as a child as she should be
Hears the roars of a lion on the sea shore
Speaks the language of all her creations
Bold and silent, treads into water

Good lord waits on his patrons calmly
Ticking time is a long round river
Sea lion, sea lion's gone in an instant
Run and hiding in love and mystic
Gold for Byron silver for Leslie
