Little by little
the night turns around.
Counting the leaves
which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on
each other in yearning
Under the eaves
the swallow is resting
Set the controls
for the heart of the sun.
Over the mountain
watching the watcher.
Breaking the darkness,
waking the grapevine.
One inch of love
is one inch of 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.
The heart of the sun,
the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun,
the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun,
Witness the man
who raves at the wall
Making the shape of
his questions to Heaven
Whether 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.
The heart of the sun,
the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun,
the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun,
the heart of the sun.
