The Sun is Burning Lyrics by Luke Kelly

Working Class Hero

0

[Verse 1]
The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of cloud go slowly drifting by
In the park the dreamy bees
Are droning in the flowers among the trees
And the sun is in the sky
[Verse 2]
Now the sun is in the west
Little kids lay down to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holding hands and waiting for the dark
And the sun is in the west
[Verse 3]
Now the sun is sinking low
Children playing know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
[Verse 4]
Now the Sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish hеat and leaves a smear of ash
And thе Sun has come to Earth
[Verse 5]
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
