The Sun Rose Dead

The sun rose dead
On the day I woke up to find
Everything was a lie
The life I had
Thrown into the wind
To blow away like dry sand
On a deserted beach
The solitary palm tree providing shade
With no-one to cover

The sun rose dead
On the night everything changed
Thrown into the ocean
To be swept along the waves
A lonely piece of timber
The remains of a wreck
With no-one to keep afloat

The dead sun finally set
When the moon rose
To say goodbye
And shines its palelight on the lonely
Walking these streets of emptiness
Until the morning
When the sun will rise
Bright and alive
To kiss the moon goodnight
And start life again
