lyrics

Under a jasmine tree
I thought I saw something bigger than me
As far as I can see
These were transitory beams

So it seems
So it goes
What it means
Nobody knows

Under a jasmine tree
Think how lovely it could be

Under a pile of leaves
How I thought the world was big
What I wanted for me
All I had to do was dig

But the game is rigged
So they say
What are rules
And who gets to play?

Under a pile of leaves
How I thought the world was big

Under the driver's seat
He left a note for us to read
But all he wrote for me was:
Son, I'm sorry

So it seems
So it goes
What it means
Nobody knows

Under a jasmine tree
Think how lovely it could be
