Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love just drifts us on
On our way to the fields
Where we will play today
Louis brings his kite
With a homemade paper chain
Strange to see the sight
Of the moon in the daytime not the night
I will lift you up
So high, on my shoulders, to the sky
Ah
[Verse 2]
Don't stare at the sun too long
Don't stare at the sun too long
[Verse 3]
Singing in the dark
On our way home
The day is done for sleepy ones
On the fire escape
My telescope that scans the evening sky
If I could see it all
All to be lost in the galaxy of distant stars
Did I see your face?
It weighs so much to be alone tonight
Ah
[Verse 4]
Don't stare at the sun too long
Don't stare at the sun too long
You scare everyone if you stare at the sun
Don't stare at the sun too long
[Verse 5]
Don't stare at the sun too long
