about

An ensemble piece. The men of the village have gathered together (after sacrificing the village goat) to sing at the top of their lungs, to drive away the summer sun. The Ghost Of Edwin Morgan commemorates the event in poem form.

lyrics

The Weather Report is Grim and Dark
Calls time on the old and the weak of heart
Strips trees of leaf, pulls ships asunder
Rings bells of doom and cracks of thunder

Like a foolish sheep, strayed the beaten track
Lost on dismal hill, under sky of black
World weary soul, soaked through with rain
Heed solemn warnings, pass not this way again.

“The Sun Is Going Back In Again”
