I Still Miss the Sun


by Jerry Ratch


 

 

I know I'm in the sky all night 
And can lie back and sometimes have some fun 
But these stars around me aren't everything in life 
I still miss the sun 

 

After your first lover threw you back 

Into the frozen ocean of life 
You never came back to shore for more 

Did you? Did you? 

 

It may be that the voice of the turtle is 

Only heard in the dream land where you come from 

And not mine anymore 

But still, I miss the sun 

 

When I was taken up here to the sky 

I found my heart was broken nearby 

So, I reached over and touched it 

And that was when it came back to life 

 

And it began beating on its own 

As if someone else now owned it 

Well, I'll tell you what it's like up here 

There's a sudden burst of color, like the dispersal of a ghost 


And now candy wrappers are scattered all over the heavens 

It looks like God got lit up by the sky 

As we flew too close to His face 

In a thunderstorm nearby 

 

And I know I'm in the sky all night 
And can lie back and sometimes have some fun 
But these stars around me aren't everything in life 
And I still miss the sun 

 

I still miss the sun 

I still miss the sun
