ONCE
AROUND THE SUN
Today I laid
a demon to rest
And I fell
in love with that lady again
It must be
at least ten times this short year
That I’ve
shed a fear
On our
journey around the sun
With the wax
on our wings still intact
We’ve been
flying so high we’re getting further away
From the
valley below
And as we
lay in our bed at night
Listening to
the Irish muse in flight
He takes us
to places we’ve never seen
But we’re
getting there
CHORUS
We’ve been
through all the seasons
We’ve been
through the heat and the cold
We’ve seen
the age clock tick over
We’ve been
once around
once around
once around the
sun
And very
night I just want to fall
Into her arms
without a word
Travel again
to that place of peace
Where no demons
lay
But we keep
them alive with our hours of talk
Touching on
fears with a torrent of words
Keeping the
passion alive and apart
Until we
finally give in
And play in
our bed at night
Listening to
the Irish muse in flight
He takes us
to places we’ve never seen
But we’re
getting there
CHORUS
We’ve been
through all the seasons
We’ve been
through the heat and the cold
We’ve seen
the age clock tick over
We’ve been
once around
once around
once around the
sun

Commentary: think it's self-evident really :) The Irish muse referred to is Van Morrison.
