I Remember The Sun - XTC

Hot as golden sand in fields

We whiled away the hours

I’m thinking of the days we had

Enormous super powers

Yes I’m sleeping, my mind’s on the blink

I thought a page, like it’s written in ink

When I remember distant days

I remember many things, but

Most of all, I remember the sun

Squinting at the sun through eyes

Screwed up by a fireball

Tarmac on the road is soft

Chaff burns in a smokewall

Yes, I weeping, a teardrop attack

I give emotion at the drop of a hat

When I remember days at school

I remember many things, but

Most of all, I remember the sun

Sun that worked on overtime

Fuelled our bodies, kindled fire in our minds

Burning scars soon disappear

Like heat that hangs like water on the road

But most of all, I remember the sun.
