You Got the Answer

It's been a long morning the sun wasn't shining Porch planks glistening in the sunup rain Lonely lunchtime at the kitchen table Gray clouds rolling past through the dirty pane I've been working hard filling up empty time Pulling rocks and trees from the fallow fields You came down the road when I wasn't looking Can't believe love's bountiful yield Then the doors opened up Who lets the sun in? Is there someone Or just a devil wind Well there you stand waiting for my question You got the answer to put the rain away Ten long years of work and loneliness Gone from dawn to dusk to the factory No time for love, no time for happiness Turns out work there was never guaranteed Laid off, set aside, watching four dark walls Kept the lights off counting every dime Eating my meals straight from old tin cans Lost direction, lost my grip on time Then the doors opened up and Who lets the sun in? Is there someone Or just a devil wind Well there you stand waiting for my question You got the answer to put the rain away It's been a long morning the sun wasn't shining Porch planks glistening in the sunup rain Lonely lunchtime at the kitchen table Gray clouds rolling past through the dirty pane Then the doors opened up and Who lets the sun in?
