Björk - Solstice


When your eyes
Pause on the ball
That hangs on the third branch from the star
You remember why it is dark
And why it gets light again

The earth, like the heart
Slopes in its seat
And like that it travels
Along an elliptical path
Drawn in the darkness

An unpolished pearl
In sky-black palm of hand
Flickering sun-flame

Then you remember
That you yourself
You are a light-bearer, a light-bearer
Receiving radiance from others

Flickering sun-flame

Unpolished earth in the palm of hand
