Spinning The Sun<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Height of the sun<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So high, so high<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ground wavering and melting<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the heat haze<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Call me to your soul<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deep love, deep light<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet burning danger<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Consuming fire<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing in part-measures<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aching, desperate<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Passion so bright<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Call me to your home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The heart of the desert<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The source of the hot spring<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The centre of the mountain<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ready to burst<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ash and fire<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the land<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Call me to your music<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dancing the round<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spinning the sun<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clattering bells that<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Glisten and sparkle<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As boots hit the ground<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over and over<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beating the drum<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beating the heart<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The thrum of blood<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bursting through<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Summer\u2019s veins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
