7 O'Clock Hymn / Midwinter

Diamonds in their velvet shining
hangs the sky, the night is climbing slowly
nothing moves, the waking world is done
waiting for the sun
and all around, the earth is slowly waking
in the east, the dawn is slowly breaking

morning sun
morning sun
day begins with morning sun

laughter like an iced pond breaking
wakes love sleeping far behind,
breathing on the frosted windows
hiding from, the world outside he'll mind
you say it can't be done
but a little bit of blue's took the edge of the morning sun

Tune low my ears for whispers
gentle as the rising sun,
fill my ears with mindless wonder
raise my head to find the day has come
you say it can't be done
but a little bit of blue's took the edge of the morning sun

morning sun
morning sun
day begins with morning sun

empty leaves form a restless carpet
brushing on your falling footsteps
North wind turn your face, to frozen stone
and darkness has no home
and all around the earth is slowly waking
in the east, the dawn is slowly breaking

morning sun
morning sun
day begins with morning sun

sun is rising, dawn is breaking,
dawn is breaking, sun is rising,
sun is rising, moon is dying,

child of the sun, will you go where the wind blows
winter trees stand heavy in the snow
frost holds your breath in her handshake of iron ooh oooh ooohh

child of the sun, is your coat warm about you
and cold is the world and not so kind
ice for your diamonds
silver for your necklace, you will find
white on white, the snow slowly falling
soft and low
the east wind is speaking, in midwinter

For I must go far away before the sunrise
where leaves speak in whispers in the cold
the wind stirs the embers,
with long forgotten faces growing Old
white on white, the snow slowly falling
soft and low
the east wind is speaking, in midwinter
