This sun has no light   This sun only gives shade   Like a lost minnow on the ocean    The sun gives nothing away      The sun has no light    The sun has no shade   Like a drying river   The suns falling away      Come around and see    Be my desperate companion   Take the clothes from me   And fold them in the meadows      When nobody believes me   I'll say goodbye to the frost   And if you can't trust me   You might see the birds in the dusk      This sun has no light   This sun only gives shade   Like a lost minnow on the ocean    The sun gives nothing away      The sun has no light    The sun has no shade   Like a drying river   The suns falling away      I wrapped a warm moment   In a cold paper bag   And I took too long to notice   The strangers counted on my hand      And I strapped lost sleep   Triggered with my fingers before   A shadow lost inside me   I moved like a flooded fever      Like a flooded fever   Like a flooded fever      This sun has no light   This sun only gives shade   Like a lost minnow on the ocean    The sun gives nothing away      The sun has no light    The sun has no shade   Like a drying river   The suns falling away
