Staring at the Sun Lyrics by Coyote Wall

War Machine

2019

[Verse 1]
I get a little lost sometimes
I get a little in my head
I try to read between the lines
But I never was well read
I used to live in Arkansas
I used to live where skies were blue
I used to live above the law
Now I live apart from you
[Chorus]
Cause the daughter of the pastor
Caught me staring at the sun
And she rubbed my wounds with castor oil
Until my sight was gone
Cause if you can't look into my eyes
Thеn no one will again
I'll go until the last light dies
For you my only friеnd
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I don't have windows in my room
I don't have nothing on my floor
I don't believe I'll see you soon
There's nothing left for me no more
[Chorus]
Cause the daughter of the pastor
Caught me staring at the sun
And she rubbed my wounds with castor oil
Until my sight was gone
Cause if you can't look into my eyes
Then no one will again
I'll go until the last light dies
For you my only friend
[Verse 3]
I've never been so in love
I've never been so alone
You said that you had business to take care of up above
And you went out and left me on my own
I only wish that you had stayed
I ride the roads we used to roam
I won't allow this dream to fade
I'll keep it safe till you come home
Rivers run through distant lands
They go until they reach the sea
And I stretch out my weary hands
But nothing ever comes to me
[Chorus]
Well the daughter of the pastor
Caught me staring at the sun
And she rubbed my wounds with castor oil
Until my sight was gone
Cause if you can't look into my eyes
Then no one will again
I'll go until the last light dies
For you my only friend
Cause the daughter of the pastor
Caught me staring at the sun
And she rubbed my wounds with castor oil
Until my sight was gone
Cause if you can't look into my eyes
Then no one will again
I'll go until the last light dies
For you my only friend
[Outro]
I'll go and I won't compromise
This will not be the end
