Don’t Stare at the Sun Lyrics by Richard Hawley

Standing at the Sky’s Edge

2012

Love just drifts us on
On our way, to the fields where we will play today
Louis brings his kite
With a homemade paper-chain
Strange to see the sight
Of the moon, in the daytime not the night
I will lift you up
So high, on my shoulders to the sky
Ahhh...
Don't stare at the sun too long
Don't stare at the sun too long
Singing in the dark
On our way home, the day is done for sleepy ones
On the fire escape
My telescope, that scans the evening sky
If I could see it all
All to be lost, in the galaxy of distant stars
Did I see your face?
It weighs so much, to be alone tonight
Ahhh...
Don't stare at the sun too long
Don't stare at the sun too long
You scare everyone
If you stare at the sun
Don't stare at the sun too long
Don't stare at the sun too long...
