Lyric

You were brushed gold

That velvet night

On the day that

The sun didn't rise

Feet bare, you danced

Your hair wind-swept

On the day that

Music fell deaf

So dance on, wild one

My star-suckle child

For who are we

But dust and time?

So dance on, wild one

My star-suckle child

For who are we

But dreams and desires?

A thundering drum

Your young light heart

On the day that

All rhythm stopped

You laughed to the wind

It rose in your chest

On the day that

Humour had left

So dance on, wild one

My star-suckle child

For who are we

But dust and time?

So dance on, wild one

My star-suckle child

For who are we

But dreams and desires?

You tempered an ember

Grew feathers aflame

On the day

That no light came

High in the sky

You showed us your secret

That you are the sun

And the sun is a phoenix

So burn bright and wild

My star-suckled child

For who we are

Are suns and stars

So burn bright and wild

My star-suckled child

For who we are

Are suns and stars
