White Sun

The sun is white tonight
Tomorrow it will be red and bright in ardent stillness
An ocean wave is welcoming
Yet it is carrying all of my sins and all of my troubles

Hey hey where were they hiding
The seabirds that return in the summer tide?
Hey hey where were they hiding
All my loving, giving, receiving?
When they’re back, I’ll continue my straying

There are no days, there never is night
In the icy lands of eternal, ceaseless calmness
How many until you’ll stand here
Sharing the weightlessness of the island’s intense wonders?

Hush now, soon they will fly in
The tern that I left with my reverie
Hush now, there’s one that is crying
Both its wings bear other birds’ sorrows
When they’re back, I’ll continue my straying

The sun is white and steadily bright
In the land of tinder and ice in ardent silence
Hold on tight to our vision
The one that we’ve carried for so long
And soon we’ll feed the fire-doubled heartbeats
Sooth our souls’ needs
Stillness feeds our united bodies
