Lyrics
Her name is Centillion
She comes from so far away
She's at the meridian
She fingers a flageolet
Cold wind off the Baltic Sea
Twilight shimmering
She waits on the rising moon to sing
Chorus:
Sing like Centillion
Waterfalls and concert halls embrace you
Waves of vermilion
It's a long winter song, and I'm waiting just for you
Big diesels that rumble down
Through ice storms in Tampere
She hovers above the town
And whispers the clouds away
Much better to lie awake
Than to wake with a mighty lie
Much better to live like this than to die
Chorus
Bridge:
Like spirits in spangled sunlight
Lighting upon your shoulders
Lighting the way to help you see
Chorus
