No Guru, No Method, No Teacher

The streets are always wet with rain
After a summer shower when i saw you standin'
In the garden in the garden wet with rain

You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
As we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as i sat beside you i felt the
Great sadness that day in the garden

And then one day you came back home
You were a creature all in rapture
You had the key to your soul
And you did open that day you came back to the garden

The olden summer breeze was blowin' on your face
The light of god was shinin' on your countenance divine
And you were a violet colour as you
Sat beside your father and your mother in the garden

The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden

And you went into a trance
Your childlike vision became so fine
And we heard the bells inside the church
We loved so much
And felt the presence of the youth of
Eternal summers in the garden

And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
Born again you were and blushed and we touched each other lightly
And we felt the presence of the christ

And i turned to you and i said
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and i and nature
And the father in the garden

No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and i and nature
And the father and the
Son and the holy ghost
In the garden wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and i and nature and the holy ghost
In the garden, in the garden, wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and i and nature
And the father in the garden

Chorus:
When you come down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
To be like me to see like me
To feel like me

Take a look at me i'm a poor man's son
I never did no harm to no one
You've got money in the bank
And i don't have none

When you come down etc etc....

Bridge:
You can see through
Your rose coloured glasses
In a world that seems
Like glamour to you
You've got opinions and judgements about
All kind of things
That you don't know anything about

Don't you know the price that i have to pay
Just to do everything i have to do
Do you think that there's nothing to it
You should try it sometime

When you come down etc etc....

Thanks for the information
Never give a sucker an even break
When he's breaking through
To a new level of consciousness
There always seems to be more
Obstacles in the way
Thanks for the information i know
It's only a combat zone
Thanks for the memory,
I'll just have
To carry on on my own

Chorus:
And it's wonderful and it's marvelous
How we can ever make it through
Sometimes i wonder how we can ever
Make it from day to day

Thanks for the information
What you gain on the hobby horse you lose on the swing
I like mine over easy
And you can have your's sunny side up
I don't wanna quibble over insignificant details
And i've tried every trick in the book
Thanks for the information
I know i should look before i leap

Chorus:
And it's wonderful and it's marvelous
How we can ever make it through
Sometimes i wonder how
We can ever make it at all

Thanks for the information
Never give a sucker an even break
And with her everything light becomes heavy
And everything heavy becomes light
They took me down to the watering hole
Because i happened to mention i was dying of thirst
Then they told me he who believes first will be later
And he who believes later will be first

Chorus:
And it's wonderful etc etc....

Thanks for the information
Oh never give a sucker an even break
When you're on to something it's a
Dime in a dozen people start
Coming out of the woodwork
Thanks for the invitation
I know i must be on to something big
Everytime i take two steps forward
I end up having to take three back

Chorus:
And it's wonderful etc etc....

Thanks for the information
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Every time i'm ready for a major breakthrough
I always have to think in terms of better of worse
Thanks for the information
Thanks for the memory

Oh the warm feeling
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as i sat by you

Like a child within the kingdom
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as i sat by you

And it filled with devotion
And it made me plainly see
And it healed all my emotions
As i sat by you

As we sat inside the sunshine
And we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling, as i sat by you

And it filled me with religion
And it gave great comfort to me
Oh the warm feeling as i sat by you

Oh the warm feeling as we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as i sat by you.

On the road with my sword
And my shield in my hand
Pressing on to the new day
This love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always

In the valley i see horsemen pass
Baby, baby, baby they don't want this love to last
There's a battle for the throne

And it's raging down in your soul
It says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always

Bridge:
I've been accused of truth and alchemy
I've been accused of speaking out for freedom too
I gave a demonstration in front of a crowd
A man saw my hands move and he began to shout

Here come horsemen through the pass
They say cast a cold eye on life, on death
There's a battle for the throne
And it means to thine own self be true

And it says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
