lyrics

The sun’s been on the run
For some days now
Looking for some fun
It’s travelled south
Finding only shadows and the moon
It’s hoping to return here some day soon

My smile has lost its way and pointed down
It’s seen a thousand rainbows and it’s frowned
It’s looked out of the window on the day
Then watched a thousands rainbows fade away

But if the world has stopped the ticking clocks
And seconds wait inside a box
The sound of them just like a bell will ring
When it’s time for them to leave their home and sing

The night has sent a message in the stars
One that we had never seen thus far
It’s seen this blanket mist itself before
But spells out only letter two and four

My mind has gone adrift into a cloud
Remembering the bustle of the crowd
A fog of daily steps on tangled grass
It longs for laughing noise and clinking glass

But if the world has stopped the ticking clocks
And seconds wait inside a box
The sound of them just like a bell will ring
When it’s time for them to leave their home and sing

And time and time again my friend
The ending starts, the starting ends
The pillow rises and pretends
That morning starts and evening tends
To pass on by without a sound
