A Saucerful Of Secrets 1968

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Little by little the night turns around 
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn 
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning 
Over the hills a swallow is resting

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 snape 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
