Burnt By The Sun - Sophie Solomon

I was burnt by the sun

said good bye to the sea

when I saw you were losing

your love for me

Your eyes told the tale

of a wound that’s still raw

as I watched you renouncing

any hope of a cure

How can I be bitter that it’s over

after all I’ve got myself to blame

the sun dissolves to Winter now it’s over

I’m lost amongst the shadows that remain

Then your words rang out strong

at once broken but clear

and I heard you dismissing

any last trace of fear

I was burnt by the sun

tried in vain not to cry

since I knew all the answers

tell me why I ask why

How can I be bitter that it’s over

after all I’ve got myself to blame

the sun dissolves to Winter now it’s over

I’m lost amongst the shadows that remain

Now the swing in your step

makes me tremble with hurt

when I see how you blossom

I feel lost and inert

I’ve been burnt by the sun

in my prozak coccoon

just can’t pick up the pieces

of my life without you

just can’t pick up the pieces

of my life without you
