lyrics

Turn your face into the sun
Until your eyes no longer see
One alone with everyone
In visions of eternity
Turn round again

Until the flower opens
I will sit and stare
Until the colours change again
Here and everywhere
Where the water glistens in the light
There I have seen all I know

Turn your face into the sun
Until your eyes no longer see
One alone with everyone
In visions of eternity
Turn round again

What are we, the centre of a world
Or just a piece of dust in empty space?
Where I lie beneath the sky at night
I know exactly where I am
And understand my place
The smallest spot in time

Until the clouds have broken
I’ll sit and pray for rain
Until the trees are green again
Another year gone by
Where the river widens to the sea
There I have seen all I know

Turn your face into the sun
Until your eyes no longer see
One alone with everyone
In visions of eternity
Turn round again

Does there need to be a reason for
The image of the glory all around?
What there is is there
Whatever we may choose to call it
Beauty or some other human sound

Let the grass be my bed
And the sky is my sheet
And a stone for my head
And my clothes at my feet

And I have climbed the mountain
And breathed the cool thin air
And I have been down to the sea
And dived for coral
Where the gardens come alive each day
There I have felt all I feel

Turn your face into the sun
Until your eyes no longer see
One alone with everyone
In visions of eternity
