Colder In The Sun

Grace kept rolling off

Like so much rain into a broken cup

It stayed a while but soon was on its way



Just like a prize fighter

Who can hear the count but can't get up

I'll sleep a while and fight another day



Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

Closed to everyone

Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

I was growing colder in the sun



Mirror, mirror in the sky I look to you

But you can't hear me cry

Sometimes to seem so far away



Why give me this ocean

That nobody wants to get too near

And why, oh God, can I not seize the day?



Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

Closed to everyone

Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

I was growing colder in the sun



Years kept blowing by

Like so much rain into my heart

Waiting for the day

Whem I might get the major part

And when things didn't go my way

I did that I did yesterday

There wasn't any way to change my heart



Like a lock to the door

Like a latch to the window

I was growing colder to the sun



Solo



Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

(Just enduring my life in silence)

Closed to everyone

Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window

(I kept living my life inside)

I was growing colder in the sun
