The peacock flies and the goldfinch flies
The peacock flies and the goldfinch flies
If you go looking for a golden pebble
See that in my heart there is one
That if you find it, you won't believe it's true
If you go looking for a golden pebble
The peacock flies and the goldfinch flies

And it flies flies flies flies flies flies
Only for an hour, for just one hour
And it flies like words and foolishness
And it flies like kisses and caresses
And it flies like kisses and caresses

If the river were to flow back to the forest
If the river were to flow back to the forest
If the water were to return to the mountain
If the time for celebration were to come again
The flour would still be grain
If the water were to return to the mountain
If the sea could be held in a basket

And it flies flies flies flies flies flies
Only for an hour, for just one hour
And it flies like words and foolishness
And it flies like kisses and caresses
And it flies like kisses and caresses
