lyrics

Under the solstice moon, in the sepia light
Let our love become aligned, I'll sacrifice my heart to you
Under the solstice moon, I'll be waiting for you
Until you're here with me beneath the solstice moon

Under the willow tree, did you speak the first word?
Or did I dream that your sweet voice I heard saying you're in love with me
Under the willow tree, will you be waiting for me?
Until I'm here with you beneath the willow tree

The world keeps on turning
The universe expands
But I'll still be standing here
Until you take me by the hand
Below the standing stones, I'll be waiting for you
Until you're here with me beneath the solstice moon

Next to the Aubrey holes, scatter me from above
That I might wander down the cursus, raise a barrow for our love's
More than an artefact or some forgotten tune
Always you're here with me beneath the solstice moon

In the shadow of the monolith
I can sense my time is brief
You may have lost your faith but I
Cling to my belief
Below the standing stones, always I'll be waiting for you
Until you're here with me beneath the solstice moon
