Just the bill, please

there is art within the veil
there is music in the darkness
there is love just down the hall
but all the doors have been removed

there are signs to lead the way
they were planted yesterday
there is truth but not the kind
made to sell you something smooth

breathe the air, breathe it in
think about the clouds of heaven
sip your tea, sip it again
you're in the garden as we speak

what would you see, if you could see
with something other than your eyes
what would you say, if your words
had all got up and walked away

when the light touches dark
they are dancing oh so close
none can see what they can feel
but we feel it all the same

you're in the garden
you're in the sky
you're in the place that is no place
you're in the heart
and the life
see the smile beyond the face


there is art within the veil
there is music in the darkness
there is love just down the hall
but all the doors have been removed
