This is one of my favorite Patchouli songs and was a thrill to play it at the yoga class.
lyrics
The Puzzle
by Patchouli
The moon ---- rests ---- in a bowl of stars to-night and
I write into the wind -- and the words blow in letter by letter andYou, -- you are some-where that we used to share
Now we're looking at the same big moon
We're looking at the same bright stars
And we just see it different-ly, ------ like a puzzle fits to-gether
Staring at the same blue sky
We're sitting on the same big earth
And we just see it different-ly, different birds different feathers
He ---- left for overseas ---- and he took the family with him and
She sits and waits until the kids are a-sleep to wonder -- if
she stays up late, can she still paint her-self in the picture ---------
That they're looking at the same big moon
They're looking at the same bright stars
And they just see it different-ly, ------ like a puzzle fits to-gether
Staring at the same blue sky
They're sitting on the same big earth
And they just see it different-ly, different birds different feathers
