"Sunburn" lyrics

"Sunburn"

The sky was dark this morning
Not a bird in the trees
Silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream

You were gone
You were not there for me

And I cursed the sky
And begged the sun to fall all over me
This life's not living, if living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperately
Look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me

And what are they to feel?
Who are they to be?
What am I to do with, do with me?

Just let the sun fall all over me
This life's not living, if living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

'Til my eyes are cried out
'Til my head is free from doubt
'Til my lungs sigh right out
'Til I'm wiser
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let the sun fall all over me
This life's not living, living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down

Let the sun fall all over me
This life's not living baby, living ain't free
And if I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down over me
