Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness, waking the grapewine
Morning to love is born in the shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the vine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his questions to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening?
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
