  • Little pebble upon the sand
    Now you're lying here in my hand
    How many years
    Have you been here?

    Little human upon the sand
    From where I'm lying
    Here in your hand
    You to me are but a passing breeze

    The sun will always, shine where you stand
    Depending in which land
    You may find yourself
    Now you have my blessing, go your way

    Happiness runs in a circular motion
    Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
    Everybody is a part of everything anyway
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs

    Happiness runs in a circular motion
    Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
    Everybody is a part of everything anyway
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs

    Happiness runs in a circular motion
    Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
    Everybody is a part of everything anyway
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs
    Happiness runs, happiness runs

    Why? Because
    Why? Because
    Why? Because
    Why? Because

    Happiness runs in a circular motion
    Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
    Everybody is a part of everything anyway
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be
    You can have everything if you let yourself be

    The lyrics - brilliant.
    The guitar work - inspired.
    The harmonization - if Graham Nash really was involved, there's your seal of quality.
    Donovan is so under-appreciated. His transition from folk to psychedelia is the perfect display of his genius in action.
