Lyrics for Sad, Sad Sunshine
Wild-eyed and flashin' cast upon me with the dawn I have grasped the realization of the new day when it's born And while looking through a window framed with curtains that are worn There is darkness even in the brightest morning As the sun it slowly rises there is judgment in its glare And it seems too much to ask to light a face that isn't there And the feelings that are wasted make you feel it isn't fair When she leaves without a whispered word of warning Sad, sad sunshine Waking only those who really know Sad, sad sunshine Wonder why you've kissed her with your glow Magazines of memories I've read a thousand times Just seem to find their way inside me like a dollars worth of dimes There's only one for every ten, no matter where ya try to climb And the walls around me aim in one direction I can still recall the drops of evening in your eyes And your leaving in the morning should have come as no surprise To one who based his way of living on another's world of lies Oh, I do not ever claim to seek perfection Sad, sad sunshine Waking only those who really know Sad, sad sunshine Wonder why you've kissed her with your glow
