1968
Little by little the night turns around Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn Lotuses lean on each other in yearning Under the eaves the swallow is resting Set the controls for the heart of the Sun Over the mountain watching the watcher Breaking the darkness Waking the grapevine One inch of love is one inch of shadow Love is the shadow that ripens the wine Set the controls for the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun Witness the man who raves at the wall Making the shape of his questions to Heaven Whether the Sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson of giving Set the controls for the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun, the heart of the Sun

A canção foi escrita por Roger Waters, que adaptou a letra a partir de um livro de poesia chinesa.
Na gravação, Nick Mason executou a parte de bateria usando maços de tímpano, conferindo ao ritmo um timbre distinto.
É a única faixa de Pink Floyd que inclui contribuições de todos os cinco membros da formação, com partes de guitarra de David Gilmour e Syd Barrett ainda presentes, ainda que soterradas na mixagem.
"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" foi apresentada ao vivo regularmente entre 1967 e 1973, aparecendo no disco ao vivo de *Ummagumma* (1969) e no filme *Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii* (1972).
Roger Waters e Nick Mason continuam a tocar a música em turnês solo, mantendo-a viva no repertório individual dos membros da banda.
