Follow where the light is leading
Highest place I’ll ever know
Dirty dark and dreary morning
Take me where I need to go
Past the rows of terraced houses
To the hill above the town
Reaching up towards the heavens
Only place to be alone
Now my body’s made of music
All my mind is full of air
Here my eyes see every colour
Feel I’m touching everywhere
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Follow where my mind is wandering
Through the cracks between the clouds
Shall I see the sun arriving?
Will it ever come around?
Down the lines of blackened rooftops
Along the granite streets below
Way ahead the grey horizon
Through the smoke and sulphur glow
Need the breeze of summer mornings
Long for warm September rain
Miss the cool of evening shadows
Want the heat of August days
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
It takes the rain to make the garden grow
The wind to get me where I want to go
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Follow where the river’s flowing
Down the valley to the sea
Back to birth and far beyond it
Let the ocean cover me
Carve the lines in ancient faces
Grind the shale and pebble shore
Mountains into sand dissolving
Bathe in sun for evermore
Now I’m only made of water
Washing earth and wood and stone
Mother, father, son and daughter
Brother, sister, everyone
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
Come and turn the sun on me
