Chasing the Sun

from Shades of Violet by William Remmers

/

lyrics

Look across the clouded landscape
You'll see beyond the wing
A sunrise soon to come for lovers
Reflection of a ring

Fervent plumage pressing onward
Our orbit not undone
The pinion slowly stains in auburn
As we ride to chase the sun

So we ride on, ride on
Never turn us away
A flash of a ribbon forever unwinds
And toe-tipped and trailing we'll stay

So just climb on and shine on
At daybreak the two made one
Engulfed in effulgence as if there were three
We'll glisten as we chase the sun

I'll be your beginning as I've been your end
No time too short to tell
The rope on your wrist finds me waking my arms
My yawning eye as well

So climb aboard and dig your claws in deeply
Upon us trust bestow
The world bends in assumed position
Because I will it so

So ride on, ride on
The sky will acquiesce
And round your lover once again
Your celestial form find egress

So climb on and shine on
And sing my song of love
The whirlwinds and eddies will twist to our will
Perpetually chasing the sun

The bare-shouldered wings burst to flame at the sight
Our bodies forever entwine
And mixed with the soil we find rainbow's end
The violet and lavender homeward we send
The lemon tree pipless we suture and tend
As our three suns align

So ride on, ride
Now that each one and every are all
A pencil to parchment, my lips to your ears
As we watch the universe fall

So climb on, ride on
And never let frost fill your chest
The flute in the posies has no need for breath
When every direction is west

And stoking the embers we left in our wake
And living united a Son on the Lake
And settle upon it for sun finds the drake

We'll remember the day
We left it to love
And found in ourselves
The Swan and the Dove
And gave up on fear
And curled into one
And made our names clear
And started life
Hopefully caringly
Knowingly daringly
Gaily and givingly
Lovingly livingly
Finally endlessly
Chasing the sun
