Never Shine 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.

Oh the night is long when I'm all alone

Long as a wire looking for a telephone

I want to take all those nights

Where we was lonesome and blue

String them all back together and spend them all with you.

refrão:

Never shine sun,

Let the moon stay above

I wanna keep on keepin'

On lovin' my love.

Hey, Mr. Rooster, get yourself a backpack,

Catch yourself a night flight

Grab yourself a catnap

Hey, Mr. Songbird, go visit your cousin

That pretty one you've been missin'

I think she lives down in Tucson.

refrão

Go shine on Canada on the windchill factor

Go shine on Russia - help them build another tractor

Shine on LA - climb up and down the charts

Shine on Washington, D.C. and warm up their cold hearts.

Shine on Shreveport, St. Louie or Kokomo

Jus' don't shine here for another week or so.

refrão

There's a drop of dew hanging on each blade of grass

Hang on and tremble - don't let the night pass

Light on the horizon - linger on and on

Oh, it's jus' some city - it can't be the dawn.

refrão
