Sunlight

Sunlight assaulted me and left me where I lay Until the darkness surrounded me And carried me away I answered for everything I took and I gave And then your kindness arrested me And locked me away in your heart I caught your attention and I held it in my hand And I will make you remember me Like nobody else can I gathered everything that I borrowed and I saved And all the love that you lent to me I'll carry it straight to my grave The night clings to me Like a mother to a child My body's still But my mind is running wild I gathered all the truth I could carry in my arms And then it left me a better man Shaken, but unharmed If every broken heart has an artificial cure Then I will always be next to you If only you'd let me be yours The night clings to me Like a mother to a child My body's still But my mind is running wild My heart keeps beating Though part of me is gone My feet grow weary But still I carry on I went around the world just to see what I could find I learned that truth can be obvious And love isn't so blind The ones that make us happy can also bring us pain But if you promise your love to me I know I can promise the same The night clings to me Like a mother to a child My body's still But my mind is running wild My heart keeps beating Though part of me is gone My feet grow weary But still I carry on The night clings to me Like a mother to a child My body's still But my mind is running wild
