Lyrics
Sunlight
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.
I would shun the light
Share in evenings cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But whose heart would not take flight?
Betray the Moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I had been lost in sunlight
And flew like a moth to you
Sunlight, oh, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All the tale's the same
Told before and told again
A soul that’s born in cold and rain
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last, can grant a name
To bury it in a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was somethin' foreknown to me
Sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight, sunlight
Oh, all these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Oh, all these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Each day you rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
You strap the weight of me
Death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I'd meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight
