Sun Lyrics by Donovan

A Gift from a Flower to a Garden

1967

[Verse 1]
Sun, the earth is turning (Turn, turn)
It's turning round (Round, round)
And love is the axis (Love, love)
And they chop the tree down (Timber)
The proud trees are standing (Nice trees)
As green as the sky (Sky, sky)
As green as the greenstone (Green, green)
That makes seabirds fly (Fly)

[Bridge]
All the proud trees are standing
They're as tall as the sky
As green as the greenstone
Ad that makes seabirds fly

[Verse 2]
Ovens are baking (Bread, bread)
And rivers run dry (Dry, dry)
As dry as the ocean (You might say)
On the wings of a fly (Fly, fly)
Go if you're able (Go, go)
And come if you can (Can, can)
Life's very unstable (Life, life)
It's built upon sand (Sand)

[Bridge]
Well, Marianne, set the table
An old friend I see
Marianne, fetch the paper
There's two for tea

[Verse 1]
Sun, the earth is turning (Turn, turn)
It's turning round (Round, round)
And love is the axis (Love, love)
And they chop the tree down (Timber)
All the proud trees are standing (Nice trees)
They're as green as the sky (Sky, sky)
As green as the greenstone (Green, green)
That makes seabirds fly (Fly, fly)

[Bridge]
Go if you're able (Go, go)
And come if you can (Can, can)
Life's very unstable (Life, life)
It's built upon sand

[Outro]
Build upon sand
Lying in your hand
