Mint Tea & Maple Leaves

[Chorus] Sun-warmed wood beneath my feet Mint tea sweet, a gentle beat This slow afternoon, a perfect find Leaving all the world behind [Verse] Tiger stripes, a furry mate From the garden, round the gate Rubbing ankles, soft and low Whispering secrets only we know Petals cling from faded blooms Chasing away the afternoon's glooms [Pre-Chorus] The checkered blanket, fresh and clean Swaying gently, a tranquil scene On the clothesline, in the breeze Dancing through the leafy trees [Chorus] Sun-warmed wood beneath my feet Mint tea sweet, a gentle beat This slow afternoon, a perfect find Leaving all the world behind [Verse] An old book open on my knee A maple leaf from a memory Three years past, it softly lies Between the pages, a surprise Each turning page, a moment caught A quiet lesson, gently taught [Bridge] The cat's soft purr, a rumbling sound Golden light on grassy ground Tiny specks that dance and gleam Living out a waking dream This is more than just a day A quiet hymn, I'd say [Chorus] Sun-warmed wood beneath my feet Mint tea sweet, a gentle beat This slow afternoon, a perfect find Leaving all the world behind [Outro]
