I looked out the window
Watching the clouds drifting by
Even they wouldn't talk to me
How I love solitude
That quiet peace when I am king
And the distant tree tops wave at me
I hang the washing out
Birds scatter they know I like peace
They're always watching me
The only thing I like
Is my ancient chiming clock
Without it I'd be all at sea
We while away the hours
Be it sunshine or in snow
For the rest, just let me be

What better way to find oneself
That by getting lost in the forest
Leaving all idle chatter behind
To seek solace at nature's breast
In the hush of that woodland scene
Birds and insects whisper in their nests
A stream a sweet lullaby will sing
And treetops dance at your behest
Now lay your head on mossy bank
Dreaming now of a peaceful world
For this is gift that God has given
Far more precious than an emerald
When you wake to the smiling sun
All your worldly cares will be gone
Take heart, hold fast, you're born anew
You've found yourself for you have won
