lyrics

big circular sun
we are one
the moon and horizon
are gaining on us
they are coming up close behind
they are coming up close behind

the sun sits by the door
where I live
and he asks me
when he will be
famous and rich
and then he asks me one more question
'do you think i'll go to heaven?'

the sun asked me when again
he might rise
when you stop
greeting the morning
with closed eyes
