You know a Buddhist
I know a Buddhist
Our friends know a Buddhist too
And then the meter reader called
And the meter reader’s time unfolds
Your friend is going to retreat
My friend he retreated too
He took some time to find himself
And there he found you too
And there, and then
He found you too
You know Buddhists
I know Buddhists
Our friends know Buddhists too
And then the text machine of mine I scrolled
And the text machine of time unfolds
Your friend is going to die
It’s all we ever know
He’s arranged the words
For you to say
Upon his dying day
The never-ending words
For you to say
Upon his dying day
You knew a Buddhist
I knew a Buddhist
We all knew Buddhists too
In time the life long rich picture theatre rolled
In time life’s long rich picture’s past unfolds
Your friend is coming by
The day is a slowly opening cocoon
When the butterfly, with dual wings
Emerged beneath the blue sky
Beside the orchid meadow
Our lives of love
They never ever die
They never ever do
You know a Buddhist
I know a Buddhist
We all know Buddhists too
We all know Buddhists too
You know a Buddhist
I know a Buddhist
We all know Buddhists too
