Across The Universe

Rufus Wainwright

Words are flowing out like

endless rain into a paper cup,

they slither while they pass.

They slip away across the universe.



Pools of sorrow,

waves of joy

are drifting through my open mind.

Possessing and caressing me.



Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.



Images of broken light which

dance before me, like a million eyes

that call me on and on across the universe.



Thoughts meander like a

restless wind inside a letter box,

they tumble blindly as

they make their way across the universe.



Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.



Sounds of laughter,

shades of earth

are ringing through my opened mind

inciting and inviting me.

Limitless undying love, which

shines around me like a million suns

and calls me on and on across the universe.



Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.



Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world.



Jai guru deva...

Jai guru deva...

Jai guru deva...

Jai guru deva...
