Sip of Time

[Verse 1] In the hills of Yunnan, where the green leaves grow A tale of ancient wisdom that the elders know. They pick the leaves with tender care, in the morning light For the brew that heals the spirit, in the calm of night. [Chorus] Sip of time, in my cup, flowing free Puerh tea, oh, the stories you tell me. Aged like a fine old wine, from the earth so deep Every sip, a memory, in the warmth I keep. [Verse 2] With water just off the boil, I pour it slow Over leaves that unfurl, in a gentle flow. In a clay teapot, seasoned by years I watch the brew grow darker, as the past appears. [Chorus] Sip of time, in my cup, flowing free Puerh tea, oh, the stories you tell me. Aged like a fine old wine, from the earth so deep Every sip, a memory, in the warmth I keep. [Bridge] From the first flush, light and clear To the rich, bold taste of yesteryear. Each infusion tells a tale anew Of the mountains' mist and morning dew. [Verse 3] With friends around, we share the cup In silence, as the tea fills up. We drift away to a distant place Where the Puerh roots hold their ancient grace. [Chorus] Sip of time, in my cup, flowing free Puerh tea, oh, the stories you tell me. Aged like a fine old wine, from the earth so deep Every sip, a memory, in the warmth I keep. [Outro] In the still of night, or the break of day With Puerh tea, I find my way. Through the ebb and flow of life's long tide With a sip of time, I'm by your side.
