A Little Sun (Has Gotta Shine) Lyrics by David Knopfler

Small Mercies

0

A little sun has gotta shine
A little rain has got to fall
A little sun has gotta shine
Got to learn to walk before you crawl
I been around scene some time
I begin to see - I been involved
Seem a long wait, seem a long time
Gotta learn to walk - and walk tall
A little sun, has gotta shine
A little rain - now again
Has got to fall fall fall
A little sun has gotta shine
Got to learn to walk and walk tall
Got to walk - got to learn to walk
I been on the weed - I been on the vine
I been straight - ain't lyin'
High beyond sense - way beyond the line
Since we been apart, sun don't shine
And I been up, all night drivin'
Been a long ways been a long time
Missed a lot a things, but I ain't cryin'
Now and then - a little sun
Has got to shine shine shine
