about

Sometimes we try so hard we can't see past the struggle. But (as the Stranglers said) there's always the sun.

lyrics

We knock the ashes to the floor
Pretend It hasn't all been done before
Forget the debts we've paid and pay anew
Repent a thousand times until it's true

We know that someday we'll know when
The first steps toward forever might begin
It might be Monday morning or next year
Some far off day when everything seems clear

But all these nights of silent starlit grace
Transcend the lines upon your face
Their beauty cannot be erased
Even though we're blinded by the sun

Day breaks, it all begins again
The daily dread starts to descend
Our optimistic empty hands
Still powerless to pay the full demand

It's like a record in reverse
We think tomorrow we'll outwit the curse
We lock our future in our past
Ignoring all the shadows that it casts

But daylight waits for us to know
It's starlight echoed here below
Our future's written in your eyes
Illuminated by the sun
