Sun

You and I'd escape the night

And call it summering

I'd hold your rays and ride for days

While you spin endlessly

You undone, I felt safely strung

Between all your nerve endings

So you made waves to congregate

And finally ask of me

Will you lay with me where the sun hits right?

When the tired days can't remember

How a blurring haze came across your eyes

Will you lay with me forever?

Sun

Focused state. Wide awake in the eye of everything

You and me twin-firing machines

Spending all our energy

I felt the shade cool and grey

And glanced up suddenly

Aurora spray, a horizon away

As I shout at the top of me

Will you lay with me in the sun tonight?

When the tired days can't remember

How a blurring haze comes across my eyes

Will you lay with me forever, sun?

Carved your name across the sky

In a fit of exiting

With the polar night just in sight

Will you come and visit me?

You and me twin-firing machines

Spending all our energy

If it's you undone

Then I can't sit with you

And it's you undone

And I can't sit in your sun
