Sun

Sunshine rise in the West Virginia skies, yeah And I made this with my own two hands There's gold in them thare hills, it's cold in them thare hills I've walked every road now they call me a man The autumn and the winter knocked a small familiar splinter loose And sometimes I feel incomplete She's not the only one, I keep my eyes fixed on the Sun 'Cause I can't stand to see her when she's at my feet Think of days gone by, of coffee and of friends Dream of future days when we will meet again Deep dark conversations, stories that we'll tell 'Cause when it gets dark — it looks like anywhere else Sun burns bright in my evergreen eyes And I close them shut to review my choice One day when I'm able, there's a number on the table And I'll call her up, hear her voice In-jokes, old lines, bad puns, cheap wine Recollection comforts me on nights like this Calloused hands, smooth flesh, deep dark secret Tremble with the memory of a long-lost kiss Train of thought derailed 'cause I kept losin' track Hit the highway and I find myself lookin' back Here before the Sun I stand to reclaim myself 'Cause when it gets dark — I look like anyone else Sunshine sets on a pack of cigarettes And I smoke one slow as the Sun goes down I'm gonna take some time, I'm gonna figure out what's mine And it's not as simple as it sounds Kneel down, give thanks, go West, rob banks Gonna make my mark before I'm done The future lies with her legs spread wide And I'm gonna write my name in Sun Think of days gone by, of coffee and of friends Dream of future days when we will meet again Deep dark conversations, stories that we'll tell 'Cause when it gets dark
