Astronomy Domine
|

Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten Blinding signs flap Flicker, flicker, flicker blam, pow, pow Stairway scare Dan dare who's there? Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds The icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds The icy waters underground |

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
|
|
Little by little the night turns around Counting the leaves which tremble and turn Lotus's lean on each other in union Over the hills where a swallow is resting Set the controls for the heart of the sun Over the mountain watching the watcher Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine Morning to birth is born into shadow Love is the shadow that ripens the wine Set the controls for the heart of the sun The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun Who is the man who arrives at the wall? Making the shape of his questions at asking Thinking the sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson of giving? Set the controls for the heart of the sun The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun |

Grantchester Meadows

"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain" In the sky a bird was heard to cry. Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds Belie the deathly silence that lay all around. Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer Making for the sea. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground. Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground. Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees. |

Aye an' a bit of mackerel, settler rack and down Ran it down by the home, and I flew Well, it slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade And I cried, cried, cried The tear had fallen down he had taken, never back to raise And then cried Mary, and took out wi' your Claymore Right outta a' pocket, I ran down, down by the mountain side Battlin' the fiery horde that was falling around the feet "Never!," he cried, "Never shall ye get me alive Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!" Well I snatched fer the blade and a Claymore cut and thrust And I fell down before him round his feet Aye, a roar he cried fray the bottom of 'is heart That I would nay fall but as dead Dead as I can by why' feet, d'ya ken? And the wind cried back |

The Narrow Way

Part 1 Following the path as it leads toward The darkness in the north Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say And you must you realize be on your way Mystery swelling, creatures crawling Hear the roar Jer louder in your ears You know the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all you fears And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning and you know And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say And you must you realize be on your way Throw your thoughts back many years To the time when love was life with every morning Perhaps a day will come when the match For me the curlers past warning And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say And you must you realize be on your way Part 2 (instrumental) Part 3 Following the path as it leads towards The darkness in the north Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before But if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way Mist is swirling, creatures crawling Hear the roar get louder in your ears You know, the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all your fears And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way Pull your thoughts back many years To the time when there was life with every morning Perhaps a day will come When the light will be as clear as on that morning And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way |
