Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would shun the light
Share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
Whose heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
[PreChorus]
I had been lost to you
Sunlight
Flew like a moth to you
Sunlight, oh, sunlight
[Chorus]
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
[Verse 2]
Oh, the tale's the same
Told before and told again
A soul that's born in cold and rain
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[PreChorus]
All that was shown to me
Sunlight
Was something foreknown to me
Sunlight, oh, sunlight
[Chorus]
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
Sunlight
[Bridge]
All these colours
Fade for you only
Carry me slowly, my sunlight
All these colours
Fade for you only
Carry me slowly, my sunlight
[Verse 3]
Each day, you'd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
Death-trap-clad, happily
With wax melted, I'd meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
Said, oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
[Chorus]
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
And, oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight (Sunlight, sunlight)
[Outro]
