Far far far away wayPeople heard him say sayI will find a way wayThere will come a day daySomething will be doneThen at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flameMade contact with the human race at Mildenhall
Now now now is the time time timeTo be be be awareCarter's father saw it thereAnd knew the Rhull revealed to himThe living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh my, something in my eye eyeSomething in the sky skyWaiting there for meThe outer lock rolled slowly backThe servicemen were heard to sighFor there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the sky
Oh oh did you ever?No no never ever will theyI'll say!Summoning his cosmic powerAnd glowing slightly from his toes((#Notes|1))His psychic emanations flowed

Remember a day before todayA day when you were youngFree to play along with timeEvening never comes
Sing a song that can't be sungWithout the morning's kissQueen you shall be if you wishLook for your King
Why can't we play today?Why can't we stay that way?
Climb your favourite apple treeTry to catch the sunHide from your little brother's gunDream yourself awayWhy can't we reach the sun?Why can't we blow the years away?Blow awayBlow awayRememberRemember

Little by little the night turns aroundCounting the leaves which tremble at dawnLotuses lean on each other in yearningUnder the eaves a swallow is resting((#Notes|1))Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcherBreaking the darkness waking the grapevineKnowledge of love is knowledge of shadowLove is the shadow that ripens the wineSet the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sun
Witness the man who waves at the wallMaking the shape of his question to heavenWhether the sun will fall in the eveningWill he remember the lesson of giving?Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sunThe heart of the sun

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me hereAnd I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not hereAnd I never knew the moon could be so bigAnd I never knew the moon could be so blueAnd I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoesAnd brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this songI don't care if the sun don't shineAnd I don't care if nothing is mineAnd I don't care if I'm nervous with youI'll do my loving in the winter
And the sea isn't greenAnd I love the QueenAnd what exactly is a dream?And what exactly is a joke?
