lyrics

“sun in the sky” (sanden)

i know it’s mean
i know it’s me
i know it’s mean
i know it’s me
i know the upper edge of your mind
is the sun in the sky
i heard the broken hymn than you’re singing
floating on high

i felt so damn bad love drips and gathers in the sand
but now my eyes have seen just what my hand has done

i’m starting to feel a little bit uneasy
this wake is making me queesy
does anybody got a little pill?
just keep your eyes on the horizon

i know it’s mean
i know it’s mean
i know it’s me
i know it’s me

i felt your fever as my heart leapt
it swelled like the tide
i said “my eyes open”
you said “you’re joking you got a sleep walker’s stride”
i know the upper edge of your mind is the sun in the sky
i heard the broken hymn than you’re singing
floating on high
i saw the grackles gather at sundown
a wonderful tribe
just then your whispers brush me like kisses
making me smile
the sky and the ocean my music your music
fused open wide
i saw the upper edge of your mind
nepalese high

i felt so damn bad love drips and gathers in the sand
but now my eyes have seen just what my hand has done

the sky and the ocean
that little thought that you’re trying to hide
are combining
cut and dried
starry-eyed
i’m rowing closer
rarified
the crew are nepalese high
it’s true it’s bonafide
you wanna know why?
cuz when i’m sleepwalking with you
i’m only half awake
i’m only half me when i’m half of you
feel the song of the sea
jutting through
sing with me please sing
c’mon
c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
c’mon
