The Sun Has No Light

This sun has no light
This sun only gives shade
Like a lost minnow on the ocean
The sun gives nothing away

The sun has no light
The sun has no shade
Like a drying river
The suns falling away

Come around and see
Be my desperate companion
Take the clothes from me
And fold them in the meadows

When nobody believes me
I'll say goodbye to the frost
And if you can't trust me
You might see the birds in the dusk

This sun has no light
This sun only gives shade
Like a lost minnow on the ocean
The sun gives nothing away

The sun has no light
The sun has no shade
Like a drying river
The suns falling away

I wrapped a warm moment
In a cold paper bag
And I took too long to notice
The strangers counted on my hand

And I strapped lost sleep
Triggered with my fingers before
A shadow lost inside me
I moved like a flooded fever

Like a flooded fever
Like a flooded fever

This sun has no light
This sun only gives shade
Like a lost minnow on the ocean
The sun gives nothing away

The sun has no light
The sun has no shade
Like a drying river
The suns falling away
