Hunters Meadow
(Nolan)

A neighborhood street leads to a revery

Let's go down to Hunters Meadow where the grass is growing tall
And you dream away your daydreams 'til you got no dreams at all
And you tangle in the thorns. And you bramble through the briar
And you're buried where you're born, 'cause you're married to the fire

Let's go down
Let's go down
Let's go down

Let's go down to Hunters Meadow where the stag stands near the stream
And you see that rainbow shimmer between the glimmer and the gleam
And you hear that red fox running by the fenceline through the fog
You can hear the horses coming. You can hear the dogs.

Let's go down
Let's go down
Let's go down

Let's go down to Hunters Meadow where the maid stands with her mare
And all the daylight's rivaled by their matching golden hair
And they eat the silver apples where the moon has come undone
And when the day's begun they ride as one into the rising sun

Let's go down
Let's go down
Let's go down

This Is Not An Hermetic Library Anthology Album -4 - Paradise 07:30

Paradise
(Nolan)

Have you been to Kashmir, baby
Have you been to Phoenix
Did you walk a mile across this space that is between us
Have you read a word that rose from this ragged line
Oh, baby you remind me of a brand new friend of mine

Don't think once
Don't think twice
Don't think nothing, but Paradise

Have you been to Lubbock, lady
Have you been to lonely
Did you drink a cupful of your pride and feel holy
Have you heard a single sound
Of what my song is saying
Oh, baby are you glory bound or were you only playing

Don't think once
Don't think twice
Don't think nothin, but Paradise

Have you been to desperation
Have you been to Detroit
Did you find the perfect situation to exploit
Have you found a way to pray
Have you found your perfect consort
Have you found a way to slay, baby
Did you find your passport

Don't think once
Don't think twice
Don't think nothing, but Paradise
