lyrics
If I could tell you
Why I can't stay here,
Perhaps I wouldn't sink this low,
I could keep losing
Fights of your choosing,
But this time I have to go,
You're not new to this,
We have been through this,
And this time you ought to know,
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun,
Once that good spirit
Bought us so near it
As we reached for outer space,
Now what deep sadness
And what strange madness
Have been growing in its place?
Now the dark night calls,
As the spotlight falls,
Shining on our fall from grace
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun
Close off your mind,
Arms by your side,
Take their advice,
Don't check behind,
Won't it be nice?
Eyes on the prize,
Eyes on the prize
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun
I'm running on empty, I cannot drag this load no further
I see no hope for me, out here at the end of my tether
Why I can't stay here,
Perhaps I wouldn't sink this low,
I could keep losing
Fights of your choosing,
But this time I have to go,
You're not new to this,
We have been through this,
And this time you ought to know,
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun,
Once that good spirit
Bought us so near it
As we reached for outer space,
Now what deep sadness
And what strange madness
Have been growing in its place?
Now the dark night calls,
As the spotlight falls,
Shining on our fall from grace
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun
Close off your mind,
Arms by your side,
Take their advice,
Don't check behind,
Won't it be nice?
Eyes on the prize,
Eyes on the prize
Staring at the sun,
Staring at the sun
I'm running on empty, I cannot drag this load no further
I see no hope for me, out here at the end of my tether

Cherry White recommends:
-
Sweet Sister Starlight
by Fit and the ConniptionsA wonderfully dark and whimsical bluesy-folky-rock songwriter. Start with "Sweet Sister Starlight" and proceed from there. The webcomic's pretty good as well.

Now Summer's Gone
