Lyrics

Sun, the earth is turning (turn, turn) It's turning round (round, round) And love is the access (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) All the proud trees are standing They're as tall as the sky As green as the greenstone A-that makes seabirds fly Ovens are baking (bread, bread) And the 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) Well, Marianne set the table An old friend I see Marianne, fetch the papers There's two for tea Sun, the earth is turning (turn, turn) It's turning round (round, round) And love is the access (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) 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 Built upon sand Lying in your hand
