Let The Sun Dance

from The Powdered Earth LP by The Powdered Earth

lyrics

We said goodbye to a dear old friend today
And time cantered on with a brutalist clop
So off I dashed for the weekly shop
I loaded up the boot with toilet rolls, fruit, wine and bread
Still in my sombre suit
I sat a while within my car
The sky bereft of repetoire
The radio on mute
Rooted in the car park
I glimpsed across the bonnet a helmet and a flicking bob together drawn into a keen embrace
She could not feel a face
She hugged a plastic fishbowl
An astronaut in space
And though the object of her ardour was physically harder
Spirits walk through walls
This one is up before the lark
Singing wordless sonnets
Darting through the eddies like a flashing shoal
And there after the dark
Filling concert halls
Stubborn as coal
Robust as coastal heather
Tomorrow it will help us say
Out of every soap tray comes a new day

So let the sun dance
On the water
Let the leaves fall
Time is shorter
Let the clouds go by
Like you oughta
Stand against the baying crowd
Give them no quarter
So let the sun dance
On the water
