The Sun

I watched the sun burn brighter than it had in all my memories
I watched my love sink further down, a perfect golden sunbeam

Calculate the angle of shadows
Follow a straight line back past the gallows
Follow your voice out the back door
And brilliant light hits the cracks in my forehead

I watched the sun burn brighter than it had in all my memories
I watched my love sink further down, a perfect golden sunbeam

Move back to the house where my grandfather settled
A fresh coat of paint and a handful of candles
Nothing quite fits, a peculiar palette
Vibrant and rich is the life we inhabit here

So here we are
A violent burning star
Sunflowers in the yard
Gin bottles on the bar
So here we're still
A cat on the windowsill
Come in and drink your fill
Come and see what love has built

I watched the sun burn brighter than it had in all my memories
I watched my love sink further down, a perfect golden sunbeam
