lyrics

The Beating of the Sun
I went walking out in the midday sun
in the middle of July
who is the crazy one?
Trying to melt the grief
clinging to my bones
shake free the restless heartbeat, shadowing my own

The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue cloudless sky
The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue burning cloudless sky

I went searching for your face
in a country you were never in
yearning for your arms to hold me tight, your love to draw me in
To stare one more time
into the deep blue liquid of your eyes
to fall under the spell of your laughter
and your lies

The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue cloudless sky
The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue burning cloudless sky

I strip the clothes
from my sweat stained skin
I can’t fight the heat, I try but I won’t win
drifting into sleep
you still rumble through my head
with your songs of the forgotten
and your voices of the dead
but it was just me, I was all alone,
I was listening to, the strangest sound...

The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue cloudless sky
The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue cloudless sky
The beat beat beating of the sun
in the big blue burning cloudless sky
