Hello there, sun man,
won't you come in, set yourself down
Hey, hey there, sun man,
I know you've been working downtown
I don't mind you
keeping me waiting
Won't be long before the
dawn is breaking
Come on sun man, it's very quiet
Come on sun man, you stay the night
We'll wake up in the broad daylight
I dreamed I was walking
I went stepping beside the sea
When suddenly a stranger
He came following af ter me
He called me up, he says help me if you can
For I work on the beach,
I'm the punchin'
Judy man
Every night when folk go home,
I realise I'm not alone
There's voices in the sea,
coloured lights in the foam
We walked together and I
formulated a plan
And I said just wait there,
I fetched the
told him the words the puppeteer had said and
he answered he thought it the boat of the
dead
So we waited till the dark, we saw a silver moonlit arc,
beneath it sailed a shining bark.
Out on the tideline,
strange singing voices we heard
So like some colour,
or the flight of a golden bird
Fine rainfall drifted from the sky
And the golden buck with
the cargo sailed by
We waited on the land
And we were dancing hand in hand
Wheeling across the shining sun
Hello there sun man, won't you come in?
Sit yourself down
I know you've been working downtown
I don't mind you keeping me waiting
It won't be long before the
dawn is breaking
Come on sun man, it's very quiet
Come on summer an d stay the night
We'll wake up in the broad daylight
