Sunset

Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Whose shadow
Long and low
Is slipping out
Of wet clothes
And changes into
The most beautiful
Iridescent blue

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies stay dark
We may live on in
Comets and stars

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Oh sing of summer
And a sunset
And sing for us
So that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They all go all the way up to the top of the night

Oh sing of summer
And a sunset
And sing for us
So that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They all go all the way up to the top of the night

Oh the words
They all go all the way up to the top of the night
