[Verse 1]
Can you feel the sun shine?
Then you know what happiness is
Can you hear the birds sing?
Blackbird and electric starling
I have lowered father into the ground
I have stood on the verge of the grave
Many a funeral procession passes in spring
The meadow needs burning
[Verse 2]
Above the chill of the burial earth
The sun was blazing like a fire
Over us who shall pass on
Crystal clear rain of lark's song
As we lowered father into the ground
As we stood on the verge of the grave
Many a funeral procession passes in spring
The meadow needs burning
[Refrain]
Life comes, life goes
And is lent out once more
Everything is more than we can understand
So board the sun boat hovering on a cloud of light
Hovering on a cloud of light
[Verse 3]
Sun ships carved into the rocks
Line drawings of those who left
The world is those we can count
Life is what we can believe
[Refrain]
Life comes, life goes
And is lent out once more
Everything is more than we can understand
So board the sun boat hovering on a cloud of light
Hovering on a cloud of light
