lyrics

Tongue tied he laid a diamond
There beside the drowned
Computer stained and darkened
Dyed from dusk inside
The cold ground
Never to go out again

Fantastic Sun
Such a devil in our lives
You've become
In your constant way
A point of concern
Are we ever to learn?

We seen the coal
Turn to diamonds with the time
But when we're cold you care

Seek the sane
Never overdine
Curb a jealous rage
Fix the flat
And while you're doing that
Try to act your age

You're all alone
Still the best at what you do
But you engage
In such risky things
Like walking on ice
Where you've broken through twice

Fantastic Sun
I believe our time is used
And we're worn to wear
In spite of all that I've invested in the choir
Sometimes they sing as if the day itself's an undertaking
Too much to be bothered with

Look engaged
If the hostess laughs
You may do the same
Seabirds sigh
In the lion's eye
Past the iron gates
Seek the sane
Never overdine
Curb a jealous rage
Fix the flat
And while you're doing that
Try to act your age
Walk on the ice
Where you've broken through twice

Fantastic Sun
I believe our time is used
And we're worn to wear
Worn from wear
Born to dare
Sworn to care

The principals have never met, nor even spoken. Their relationship, which began as a series of emails, blossomed over several years into a working musical partnership that transcends the lack of a common language and physical proximity. ... more
