lyrics

The dead bugs on my window screen
Tell me summer's bound & winter's been
My cold dead heart starts to beat again
Soon I’ll refill the ink in my fountain pen

& one of these days the sun it just won't set
& ‘neath its Ray's a healthy tan I'll get
as my soft pale skin is gently turning brown
I'll forget my worries & the point of a frown

Now I'm hiding from shadows cast by the sun
Hanging in the late sky a golden pendulum
as it waxes & wanes I'll have to rush to climb
The nearest hill to watch it setting just in time

I love the sun, I love the sun, I love the sun
& the sun loves me
I love the sun. I love the sun, I love the sun
With it's vitamin D

The Daddy Long Legs stacked upon my window sill
Tell me winter's bound & summer's ill
My big warm coat see's the light of day
despite the sun doing it’s best to slunk away

& one of these days it may as well not rise
To grace our stage, illuminating eyes
As my healthy skin, is quickly turning pale
Wish I could drown my winter sorrows in a bucket of ale

& now I'm hiding from bitterness & the cold
& this dammed damp draft that makes my bones feel old
& I'm dreaming of the sun machine inside my mind
I hope it makes it back next summer just in time

I miss the sun, I miss the sun, I miss the sun
& it misses me
I miss the sun, I miss the sun, I miss the sun
& it's vitamin D

I love the sun, I love the sun, I love the sun
& the sun loves me
I love the sun, I love the sun, I love the sun
& it's vitamin D
