Lyrics
Little by little the night turns around

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Lotuses lean on each other in yearning

Under the eaves the swallow is resting

Aaaaaaaa

Aaaasaaa

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Over the mountain watching the watcher

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

One inch of love is one inch of shadow

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

Aaaaaaaa

Aaaasaaa

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun

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?

Aaaaaaaa

Aaaaaaaa

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun
