Folk Song Lyrics
Summer sky and a throat bone dry and the fields are all gold.
Dusty lane with a song in my brain and it stoned me to my soul.
I climb higher move towards the fire, blazing sun.
Silver trees and a whispering breeze are my sight and my sound.
The thought of heaven couldn’t drag me from the path when I’m wandering here alone.
I climb higher move towards the fire, so blazing sun.
Watch until it dies slow falling from the sky, pale fading sun.
Dusty lane with a song in my brain and it stoned me to my soul.
I climb higher move towards the fire, blazing sun.
The thought of heaven couldn’t drag me from the path when I’m wandering here alone.
I climb higher move towards the fire, so blazing sun.
Watch until it dies slow falling from the sky, pale fading sun.

I think this is a song of Reflections. Simple and wonderfully phrased. most good songs are.
The song (to me at least) seems to literally be explaining the character climbing a tree:
"I climb higher move towards the fire, blaze sun"
While the surrounding forest occupies their senses:
"Silver trees and a whispering breeze Are my sight and my sound"
"The thought of heaven couldn't drag me from the path" may be an indication of the danger of climbing so high, but their unwillingness to stray from the destination. Finally the character makes it to the top to watch the sunset.
"Watch until it dies slow falling from the sky Pale fading sun"
I think this is The Sundays most beautiful song. I hope one day I'll feel as happy as this song makes me.
Like a lot of Sundays songs, this makes me think of childhood. This in particular, makes me think of simply playing outside, and how much you miss that when you get older.
Smoking a spliff and then going for a walk in the country.
