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, 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

all my friends are searching
quiet, desperately
look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
save me, save me, save me

what are they to feel
who are they to be
what am i to do with, do with me, but let the sun
fall all over me
this life's not living
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

until my eyes cry out
'til my head is free from doubt
'til my lungs sigh right out
'til i'm wiser

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
