lyrics

Is that the same sun mum, the same sun mum, the same sun?

That the Inuit swallow to last the long time
That guides stork and swallow on their homeward flight
That pearls the sweat off slaving backs
That warms the lizard and scares the rats
That blinds the driver just before the crash
That lights the pyre, turning bone to ash…

Is that the same sun...

That chlorophyll kisses into the deep
That Maui captured that we may reap
The sun of chariots, hawks and snakes
That lovers in fields does tenderly wake
That Orpheus swallowed to sing about
That Persephone borrows for her time underground

Is that the same sun...

That lifts the water to sky
Makes clouds to hide behind
Sees no shadow, tells no lie
Shines like this heart of mine

Is that the same sun...

Sinks it's bleeding head into seven seas mum
Rises splendid over swamps and prisons
Climbs the highest mountain mum every morning
Breathes on every leaf its most golden warning

That sunflowers follow in their dizzy, dizzy spin
That sprouts the mung beas on my window-sill
Dries the blood on faces of dead soldiers
That children draw with crayons to put on the fridge

That shimmers beneath the willows of spring time Monet
Purifies the mind of all the poets, lonely
Gallops like a horse in open hearts
Harvests salty rain from those torn apart

Is that the same sun...
Ae, it's the same sun.

We really need this kind of magic."
