In stars and golden gowns
Two feet upon the ground
She plays a knowing smile
And under bright skies she wanders, calling the cuckoo down
(Calling the cuckoo down, calling the cuckoo down)
She conquers ancient fear
As deep as oceans down
She turns a sacred sphere
And under red skies that shelter, calling the cuckoo down
(Calling the cuckoo down, calling the cuckoo down)
And now the branches burn
And so the beast returns
The labyrinth, the maze
And now the wild fires blaze
Omens in sapphire glade
She knows her paradise
Watching the daylight fade
And under dying skies she dances, calling the cuckoo down
(Calling the cuckoo down, calling the cuckoo down)
