Shadow on the Sun - The Levellers

We’ve been singing since the morning

Till the setting of the sun

We sing of everything forever

'Cause we’ve been going for so long

We sing the heart of the cold song

Ever since we started the only one

It’s got words that bring us heaven

It’s got words that give us hell

It’s got tunes that shine like diamonds

And vicious notes as well

It’s the feel of warm rain

The song of forever the unbroken chain

There’s a shadow on the sun

That used to shine so brightly

For some it all goes wrong

Who refuse to step lightly

There’s a break in the clouds

Let the cold sun on me

Like the new born doubt

That nothing’s ever gonna be free

It tells the sentiment of growing

And a tale of lonely death

It says everything worth knowing

Till you draw another breath

Hear the clouds ring on

The song of forever the only one

And it gets me like nothing gets me

Then it throws me right back down

It holds me then it chokes me

As it lays me on the ground

Some will write a new line

Then some will pass in on

Some just sing the same verse

But most will get it wrong

Play the heart of a cold song

Ever since we started the only one

That’s the heart of a cold song

We sing the heart of the cold song

That’s the heart of all songs

That’s the heart of a cold song
