He treads a path through Kyoto's gates Where ancient temples touch the sky Past mossy walls an' cedars' shade Where lanterns burn as dusk draws nigh He finds a garden set with stones Where raked sand curves in circles wide A single petal, softly blown Disturbs the stillness — stops his stride A feelin' comes an' leaves me so distressed A hollow, heavy ache within me chest I cannot say the reason nor the rhyme Why beauty breaks me heart at such a time He's carried by a gentle flow Of folk who walk from here to there Through busy streets both new and old He drifts through colours, sounds an' flair The crowd parts like a morning tide A sea of pink on emerald green Where people gather, side by side A world that never will be unseen A mem'ry stirs within From somewhere long ago This feelin' lingers, leaves me so distressed A hollow, heavy ache within me chest I still don't know the reason nor the rhyme Why beauty breaks me heart at such a time The blossoms let their beauty go — have I not seen this dance before I close me eyes an' find meself on country roads in May White blossoms fill the hedgerows as they have forevermore Me hawthorn trees, me home, me heart, perform thee own ballet A feelin's there an' fills me with delight A warm an' golden glow within me chest I know the reason, I can tell you why Beauty broke me heart at such a time As the seasons wander As the blossoms bloom Sakura and Hawthorn Eternally reborn
