about

A wonderful holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand in 2003, with SM. Lyrics written there, music written on my return. This is a live recording in Cabin Studios (the band were in the live studio room) Coventry - I was singing a guide vocal and playing keys in the control room. We kept everything.. First take. This is the result. We just added some SS backing vocals, extra keys and some lead guitar.

lyrics

Going down through the garden
to go barefoot in the sand
I'll walk and think,
not talk and drink,
run water through my hands.

Going down through the garden
where the star curtain glows.
I'll walk and think,
not talk and drink...
my secret Buddha knows
what I'm going through,
where I am going to,
what I'm gonna do,
will it be with you?

My secret... my secret Buddha. We're gonna do each other good, my secret Buddha.

Going back to a future
where the past is understood.
We'll talk and drink,
then walk and think
and do each other good.

Going back to the present,
pulling thorns out of a rose.
We'll talk and drink,
then walk and think,
my secret Buddha knows
what I'm going through,
where I am going to,
what I'm gonna do,
will it be with you?

My secret... my secret Buddha. We're gonna do each other good, my secret, secret buddha.
