At men with flowers resting in their hair
[Chorus]
A sweet confusion filled my mind
Until I woke up only finding

A dream unusual of its kind
That gave me peace and blew my mind
And now I'm hung up on a dream

And turned me on to sounds unheard (Turned me on to sounds unheard)
And showed me strangest clouded sights above (Gentle love)
Which gentle touched my aching mind (Gentle touched my aching mind)
And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain (Gentle love)
Sometimes I think I'll never find (I think I'll never find)
Such purity and peace of mind again (Gentle love)
[Outro]
(Gentle love)
(Gentle love)
