about

This is a new song, unreleased and never played live before. Towards the end of this series of concerts, we thought it would be nice to do something we'd never done before and Fabrizio Di Donato wrote a great arrangement for it.

lyrics

Distant Sun

The road goes southbound
Oh Heaven, Help me !
For I may die before the day is done
The beggar’s cartwheels
Are never mending
On this lane of sorrow, towards the distant sun

The road goes southbound
Far and farther
And I may die before the day is done
(Done…Done…)
That’s how our life is
Like day – descending
A realm of shadows and the distant sun

(Done…Done…)

A realm of shadows and the distant sun
A bag of sorrow for the lonely ones
A realm of shadows and the distant sun
A realm of shadows - A realm of shadows

The road goes southbound
Oh Heaven, Help me !

The road goes southbound
Oh Heaven, Help me !
For I may die before the day is done
(Done…Done…)
A poor man’s plight is
Comprehending
The constant mockery of the distant sun
That’s how our life is
Like day – descending
A realm of shadows and the distant sun

(Done…Done…)
