(Verse 1)

Well, I remember yesterday

Just drifting slowly through a crowded street

With neon darkness shimmering through the haze

A sea of faces rippling in the heat

And through that namesless changing crowd

A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air

I stood astounded staring hard

At men with flowers resting in their hair

(Guitar Solo w/2 guitar sound)

(Bridge)

A sweet confusion filled my mind

Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream

A dream unusual of its kind

That gave me peace and blew my mind

And now I'm hung up on a dream

(Verse 2)

They spoke with soft persuading words

About a living creed of gentle love

And turned me on to sounds unheard

And showed me strange and clouded sights above

Which gently touched my aching mind

And soothed the wanderings of my troubles mind

Sometimes I think I'll never find

Such purity and peace of mind there
