about

Into the Sun Next, ‘Into the Sun’ is Valentina’s tale. She escapes from the war and boards a boat for the East Coast of England, leaving her lover behind to an uncertain fate. The Huguenot people were skilled artisans and horticulturists and were well accepted in their new land. Although Valentina is missing her loved ones – she says she’ll never forget Raoul – she is excited about travelling over the sea and starting a new life.

lyrics

I’ll be heading down to the harbour
Gonna be setting sail on the next high tide
You know the world may seem much smaller now
but it feels too big to me
I’m gonna be far away from here
by the time it’s light

Gonna be thinking ‘bout you baby
when I’m back on the ground
How we were heading
straight into the sun
With my flowers tucked up
and all safe and sound
I’m gonna be missin’ you baby
when I’m gone…

….The waves are so high
that I get vertigo
And seagulls swoop down
I’m spinning round and round and wonderful
And so high
up on the northern sea
And we are drenched
spray like waterfall
Our river flows to meet us
in East Anglia
And I get vertigo

The waves so high

I don’t know where I’m going
But I know where I’m from
Heading out to the sea
I’m looking into the sun

Into the sun, into the sun

C’mon

Round and round and round and round…
…and wonderful
