Bound By The Beauty Lyrics - Jane Siberry

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 hear 

And everything the dappled 

Everything the birds 

Everything the earthiness 

Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant 

The verdant dream 

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 earthiness 

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 of the light 

The slightest change, the constant rearrange 

Of light upon the land 

I'm bound by the beauty of the wind 

That blows across the earth 

The unfetteredness the wheatness 

And through the flying hair 

The slowness of the falling leaves 

Across this warm November door 

And the geese the flying southness 

The arms out evermore, I'm bound by the snow
