The sky was dark this morning Not a bird in the trees And silence hung suspicious and anxious Like a blanket covered scream And you were gone You were not there for me And i cursed the sky and begged the sun to Fall all over me This life's not living, baby Living ain't free If i can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down All my friends are searching Quiet, desperatley Look into their eyes and you'll see the faithless crying Save me, save me, save me And what are they to feel And who are they to be And what am i to do with, do with me, but let the sun Fall all over me That's not living, baby Living ain't free If i can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down over me Let the sun fall down Until my eyes cry out 'Til my head is free from doubt 'Til my lungs sigh right out 'Til I'm wiser Let the sun Fall all over me This life's not living, baby Living ain't free If i can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down over me Let the sun fall down
