lyrics

Sun

the sun doesn't shine on the love that she's wasting
the love doesn't mind all the time that she's shining
but time can't hold up for the life that he's waiting for and noone speeds it along
all for the moment of breaking the silence, leaving a shadow of doubt

and nobody notices the mess in the making
and nobody sees all the promise he’s breaking

the sun never shines in the darkness the wind never blows you away
and time needn't hurry along now but it will, and i'll wait

the passing of years and the making of hist'ry
the mashing of mouths is reflection that gets me
the goddess of dreams has a picture to show you, take it don't break it apart
it crumbles to pieces of thoughts to confuse you, leaving a trail from your mind to your heart

the sun never shines in the darkness the wind will never blow you away
and time needn't hurry along now but they will, and they do

and nobody notices the sky and what's breaking
and nobody sees all the mess that we're making

the sun never shines in the darkness the wind never blows you away
and time needn't hurry along now but it will, and i'll wait for you
