The sun was in my eyes It came through the trees Consumed all of my mind It was all I could see The sun was in my eyes Something became of my life I left all else behind And starred into the light The sun was in my eyes I could not see Please find it in your heart To forgive me Pursuing the sun because you can But still tell the night you'll still see each other now and again Let him down softly, be polite Rea**ure him all the same that things will be like they've always have been A fragile boy With needs on you he depends Who measures how much It all meant to you by how quickly you left A fragile boy With needs on you he depends With your negligence You have pushed him to the edge It was the darkness that kept us together... ...It was the light that led you away You control our destiny Reduce it back to an idea I beg of you from agony Please conform to decency The sun was in my eyes It came through the trees Consumed all of my mind It was all I could see The sun was in my eyes Something became of my life I left all else behind And starred into the light The sun is shallow It will shine for anyone The night is loyal Only to those who are true Time will fly as you pursue the sun But the night will be long and cold And it will wait for you at home When summer came I was overcome Something lost for something gained Pursuing the sun and it's hot summer days On the long, backstabbing back-road on the way to the grave
