Solstice Lyrics

[00:24.73] When your eyes
[00:40.78] Pause on the ball
[00:51.95] That hangs on the third branch from the star
[01:05.89] You remember why it is dark and why it gets light again
[01:20.01]
[01:24.14]
[01:27.75] The earth, like the heart, slopes in its seat
[01:43.49] And like that it travels along an eliptical path
[02:02.48] Drawn into the darkness
[02:18.29]
[02:22.99] An unpolished pearl in sky-black palm of hand
[02:39.99] Flickering sun-flame
[02:55.09]
[03:00.50] And then, you remember
[03:13.23] That you yourself
[03:19.28] You are a light-bearer, a light-bearer
[03:29.97] Receiving radiance from others
[03:57.02]
[04:03.06] Flickering sun-flake
[04:14.25]
[04:18.22] Unpolished earth in the palm of hand
[04:27.73]
