Pull The Sun

Impossible desire, impossible the dream

We lined them all up together and set off on the chase

Now the years they are gone like thieves in the dark

Did your eyes follow after them into the night?

Ch: I watched you as you tried and tried

To pull the sun from out of the sky

The colours all run and the clouds collide

But that was never enough

And me, I’ve got a black place in my heart

My favourite chord, my favourite card

That I draw every time on these occasions

If you leave a fire to burn it will burn itself away

It’s a long way back through the dirty waters for you and me

Are you still haunted by the hands always letting you go

And if I told you not to look, would you do that for me this one time?

Ch: But I watched you as you tried and tried

To pull the sun from out of the sky…
