Sunshine

You came in on a storm by the foot of the bed

Undressed my ambitions and left them for dead

The city was proud and the building lay bare

As you crawled from the sea and flowed through my hair

I saw death in your eyes as you stared at the sun

The laws made a mess and then gravity won

You fell into my arms like a star on the run

I held you at length like I did every one

I sing songs about sunshine

You tell tales about air

I wait for the war and it’s not even near

I trace shadows with a finger when you’re no longer there

Then I forget what it is that I fear

Sunshine,

You've got me running out on daylight

You're the reason that I'm moving on

You're the reason that I'm counted out

You're the reason that I'm gone
