Lyric discussion by meltingman 

filled with wonderful lyrics and colourful musical images . . . "crater in the sun" ? ? ? don't forget, kiddies, that this line harkens back to an earlier PF song "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", and they're seeing the crater left by their previous "flight" to the sun . . . and, just for fun, "Willow weeping", "River-daughter", for you Lord of the Rings buffs, a thinly disguised nod to Mr. Tom Bombadil and Old Man Willow . . .

Never noticed the Tom Bombadil referance before!! Goes to show that you learn something everyday...

Man this is actually awesome, but i have to say, every single time i hear the river daughter line, i always think of Tolkien and Tom Bombadils little mermaid, its cause i used to listen to some tolkiens songs and river daughter is actually used there several times, and with the willow... its just ive got the same feeling about these verses! The crater in the Sun actually got me tho!

@meltingman Funny, I always thought the river's daughters were naiads...
