To accompany Cat Stevens’ opening lines
\nthe church bells rang in
\ntambourine and centuries old bronze<\/p>\n
To if I ever lose my eyes
\nthe golden sun ripples through
\ngreen-leafed trees<\/p>\n
To if I ever lose my legs
\ntwo children pass by
\npeddling with laughter<\/p>\n
To if I ever lose my mouth
\nmy dog barks back
\nto my neighbor’s hello<\/p>\n
It didn’t take long to find
\nthe faithful light<\/p>\n
And what else would I do
\nbut stay the night<\/p>\n
