Lyrics
So we stole ourselves away from the party
Leaving a social event without permission or notice
And we started our own little wave
Initiating a unique and independent movement or trend
Under centuries of willows in the garden
Among ancient willow trees in a garden setting
That as well stole away from being paved
Escaping from the conventional and paved paths
No order no line
Absence of structure or sequence
No foreground no shrine
Lack of a prominent focus or sacred place
No ending no fight
No conclusive resolution or conflict
And they want to know
Curiosity about the whereabouts
Where, where have you been?
Questioning the past activities
Where, where have you been?
Repeated inquiry about past experiences
And they want us to know
Desire for mutual understanding
Where we should have been
Reflecting on where one ought to have been
Where we should have been
Repeated reflection on missed opportunities
Well we were busy dancing around the willow tree
Engaged in carefree and joyful dancing
Well we were busy dancing around the moonlight shadows like
Dancing in the enchanting moonlight shadows
Were still waiting for the tale
Awaiting the unfolding of a story or narrative
To be told
Identifying as integral elements: figures, song, and key
We’re the figures and the song and the key
Having desires and possessions symbolized by wishes and gold
Seven wishes and two hands full of gold
Mysterious entities or challenges disappearing
Mellow devils in our backs disappear
Relaxed and unhurried, with no defined structure
No order no line
Reiteration of the absence of order or sequence
No foreground no shrine
Continued lack of a central focus or sacred place
No ending no fight
Persistence of an unresolved conflict or struggle
And they want to know
Revisiting the inquiry into whereabouts
Where, where have you been?
Reiteration of questioning past experiences
Where, where have you been?
Repeated inquiry into past whereabouts
And they want us to know
Desire for shared awareness of where one ought to have been
Where we should have been
Repeating the reflection on where one should have been
Where we should have been
Repeated contemplation of missed opportunities
