Wake up late, day is still dawning
Get out on the road
Meet up with a man, his face well worn in
He's carrying a load
On the way to paradise

Summer rain falls, head for some shelter
Close to a wall
See the lady dressed in chance, you try to help her
She heeds your call
On the way to paradise

Find a hidden door that leads to a garden
And venture through
Sunshines bright, a witness to pardon
The world that you knew
On the way to paradise

Ornamental, or warm and gentle
On the way to paradise
As you will some day

All is well, the distant horizon, it's there in wait
Get so close, you're so much wiser, but wake up late
On the way to paradise

Ornamental, or warm and gentle
Can you tell heaven from hell
As you will some day
