Lyrics for Sun

Sun, the earth is turning It's turning round And love is the access But they chop the tree down All the proud trees are standing As green as the sky As green as the greenstone That makes seabirds fly Ovens area baking And the rivers run dry As dry as the ocean On wings of a fly Go if you're able And come if you can Life's very unstable It's built upon sand Marianne set the table An old friend I see Marianne fetch the papers There's two for tea
