Sun Don't Shine

I was miles from nowhere searching for a sign,
That all would be forgiven no matter my crimes.
Hanging my salvation on someone else’s line,
Airing my dirty laundry just hoping it would dry.
But the sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine anymore.
I had all of my frustrations just like irons in the fire,
One of them was temptation, one of them was desire.
I should be repenting, and Oh Lord, I tried,
But I was just faking coz I’m dead inside.
And the sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine anymore.
I took the road less travelled and rode it to the end,
Confiding in the Devil like he was my only friend,
Drinking and carousing like the party never ends,
But when it does- OH LORD IT DOES!
(…but not yet boys, not yet)
I was miles and miles from nowhere, hopeless and alone,
Like that stone of Bobby Dylan’s I was searching for a home.
It’s a desperate situation, such a rotten dirty lie,
That the grass is always greener, and every cloud is silver lined.
Coz the sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine,
The sun don’t shine on this cold, cold heart of mine.
This cold, cold heart of mine…
(Sun don’t shine)
This cold, cold heart of mine…
(Sun don’t shine)
This cold, cold heart of mine.
The sun don’t shine on this cold, cold heart of mine.
