Circulating Light - Anneli Drecker, Arctic Philharmonic

Darkness comes early, comes early to the hills

Soon she is here

Covering mountains and loosening winds

Filling her sphere

In dark, shallow water a beacon shines

Circulating her light

Guiding the ships, safely over the waters

Leading them through the night

Evening comes early, comes early to our town

Working men stay

Bending their necks over oars as they frown

Little girls pray

In dark…

Night comes early, comes early to our home

Rests in a nook

Sits at the bedside, no want to roam

Closing her book

In dark…
