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

Sars can frighten...

Blinding signs that flap flicker flicker flicker

Blam pow pow

Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there...

Lime and limpid green

The sound surrounds the icy waters under

Lime and limpid green

The sound surrounds the icy waters underground

Careful with that axe, Eugene

Aaaaaah!

Little by little the night turns around

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Lotus's lean on each other in yearning

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Over the mountain watching the watcher

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Witness the man who waves at the wall

Making the shape of his question 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

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

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

Belied a deathly silence

That lay all around

Hear the lark and harken

To the barking of the dog 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 sunflakes

Settle on the ground

Basking in the sunshine

Of a by-gone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday

Into this city room

Hear the lark and harken

To the barking of the dog 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

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin .. ran it doon by the haim 'ma place well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side and I cried, cried, cried. The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon, doon the middin stain picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet. Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well i snatched fer the blade O my claymore cut and thrust and i fell doon before him round his feet Aye A roar he cried frae - the bottom of his heart that i would nay fall but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken ? ..and the wind cried back

Following the path as it leads to all 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

Before you the night is beckoning

And you know you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Mist is swelling, 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 touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Throw your thoughts back many years

To the time when there was life in every morning

Perhaps a day will come

When the nights 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 touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name
