Shawn Phillips - Serendipity Peace lyrics

Phillips Oh if life could be like a merry-go-round I'd ride it all over again And all I'd find was the peace of mind I'd known when I was younger in sin Won't you take me ahead to the future of man To see what becomes of us all And I don't think I'll cry if'n we're not alive It will be through no fault of God's And the saving grace of a Marlin's break Is an insight that's so good to know And the sun makes diamonds all over the water And off in the distance is snow On the bitter cold crags of a mountain's face I waited for something to feel And the breathing of love Came and fostered my brow And left serendipity peace And the time for playing is virtually over It cannot continue for long So people of terra, the loved and unsung ones Beware the direction is wrong But the fear is not such a comical trial It ebbs and it flows with our souls And it comes and it's greater or lesser in volume It depends on what you love the most
