Brother Sun Lyrics

Look away

Every start of the day

I would hope

To move on

Turning gray

Every thoughtless array

I would look

For the new dawn

But the light

Didn't seem to delay

Desperate trying just to find some shade

To the night

Finding a place to stay

Sitting waiting for time to obey

Then it struck

Seemed like beginner's luck

Had been waiting for

The end of May

That's when he took

Another precious day

Tallied on the score

Soon to decay

"Brother Sun, can't you stop and just sway"

I said, hoping for

Another day

Fanfare blowing, I guess it's the same

Why should I sit here

Wasting away

Turning around

All he made was a sound

Creeping out of sight

And into the ground

"Mister moon,

Oh how I miss the sun"

"Well now he's gone,

You shouldn't have run"

Looking backwards,

How much have things changed

I never thought

I'd see the day

Missing hating the start of the day

Now we recognize as if it were play
