Lyrics

Cruel Sun

It's crawling

Still all in

Befallen

Cruel sun

In summer

Oh slumber

My number

Is up

There's peaches

In reaches

With leeches

At heart

I'm thinkin'

And blinkin'

It's stingin'

Mine eyes

Abhorring

He's gorging

Still boring

On me

It's lighter

It's brighter

No fighter

Is I

It's dried up

And tied up

And fried up

Mine eyes

It's crawling

Still all in

Befallen

Cruel sun
