Julia Ecklar - The Light-Ship lyrics

The full earth stands at our left hands And the pale moon on the right All fire and steel our Catherine wheel Rolls through the endless night The sun may burn at full astern And the powercells drink deep Both day and night stand in our sight From waking unto sleep And we spin long light from the glory of the sun Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun And the light gems glow on the earth below In the bright web spun by the glory of the sun The powers run from the brazen sun Through the web of heavens height To The opal world like a clouded pearl Strung on a thread of light And we pace our turn from bow to stern Through the elven summer field Where the powercells like flower bells Drink all the sun can yield As we spin long light from the glory of the sun Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun And the light gems glow on the earth below In the bright web spun from the glory of the sun The well paced blips of the factory ships Slide past our orbits brink Like a swarm of bee's in the girder tree's Come to our flowers to drink And the earth is clean As a spring time dream No factory smokes appear For they've left the land To the gardeners hand And they all are circling here As we spin long light from the glory of the sun Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun And the light gems glow on the earth below In the bright web spun from the glory of the sun
