How I Miss the Sun

The dog barked all night, fight for attention

The books on my shelf are half read

People say a cruel joke at your expense

Words flying in the air, some you'll catch

Oh, how I miss the sun

So many things left undone

Strangers turn into friends, drive down a mountain road in a van

The mason jar on my desk

from all the warm mornings and cold coffee

Feel stiff in my chest about what I dreamt

Too scared to say what I meant

But I think you knew my intent

Headstrong, moving on, used to be so hard

Had the weight of the world as a little girl

If only she could see me now

Gasping for air, planning for hours to go nowhere

A triumphant ending when the sky's finally clear

The shape of the world, Denver dear

Oh, I am good right here

This sun will be back next year

Headstrong, moving on, used to be so hard

Had the weight of the world as a little girl

If only she could see me

Headstrong, moving on, used to be so hard

Had the weight of the world as a little girl

If only she could see me now.
