Lyrics
Black Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is whiskey in the water
There is death upon the vine
There is fear in the eyes of your father
And there is "yours" and there is mine
There is a desert veiled in pavement
And there's a city of seven hills
And all our debris flows to the ocean
To meet again, I hope it will
How could something so fair be so cruel
When this black sun revolved around you
There's an answer in a question
There is hope within despair
There is beauty in a failure
And there are depths beyond compare
There is a role of a lifetime
And there's a song yet to be sung
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
Of all the plans that came undone
How could something so fair be so cruel
When this black sun revolved around you
There is whiskey in the water
There is death upon the vine
There is grace within forgiveness
But it's so hard for me to find
