You are my sunshine… From the time I was small I wanted to fly They tell me the impossible had always caught my eye My only sunshine… I resented the bridle, the bit and the chains It wasn’t until you that I learned the price of broken reins You make me happy when skies are grey… You touched me with Midas’ finger, left me golden and warm Your breath gave me wings and I straddled the storm You’ll never know dear… But the night came so quickly once you were were gone Without your thermals I was grounded alone How much I love you… There were no chains this time, no reason to run Your absence crafted Icarus, seeking her sun Please don’t take my sunshine away… There is freedom in the skies, a kind of bliss in the night When there is no horizon and no guiding light After all… it’s not the fall that kills you.
