John Swanson
The Laughing Buddha Knows
Lyrics
Who knows when the sun
Will flicker and burn out
Cosmic dust cast about
Now that's a cold day

The Laughing Buddha he knows
The day the world will end
Rub his pot belly zen
Go on and ask away

Ask him why
The say the end is near
Go on and ask him about
All the pain and the doubt
And the fear

How long will the sun
Flicker and burn
The hardest lesson to learn
Is the one you know

But the Buddha he laughs
When you look in his eyes
Because his love never dies
His love never dies

Ask him why
The say the end is near
Go on and ask him about
All your pain and your doubt
And your fear

How long will the sun
Flicker and burn
The hardest lesson to learn
Is the one you know

But the Buddha he laughs
When you look in his eyes
Because his love never dies
His love never dies
