lyrics

A Hundred Sundays

Wake everyday
Thinking sadness is a gift
I dangle from trees
To give myself a lift

There’s a tunnel-end
But I wander heavy-hung
Reach the cycle ring
Remember how to run

Waited for the day
Now I miss the moon
My monochrome December
Had not a tint or hue

My eyes tried a lie
And my tears withdrew
Despite a trick of light
I miss them over you

I was going to write you
About the year
A hundred Sundays ago
But I found a way out
Does anybody ever really
Write anymore?
I can only compose
A love song
When the clouds discover the sun
Together for a time
Put your hand in mine
So I can let it go

Lost in a pendulum
Without a bit of swing
An uphill composition
No soul to sing

This tick-tock convention
I’m hiding in between
Hits of inspiration
I miss you endlessly

Two years draw near
How I stood by
Held on so long
Drawn out goodbye

I was going to write you
About the year
A hundred Sundays ago
But I found a way out
Does anybody ever really
Fall in love anymore?
I can only compose
A love song
When the clouds discover the sun
Together for a time
Put your hand in mine
So I can let it go
