Black Sun

There is whiskey in the water

And there is death upon the vine

There is fear in the eyes of your father

And there is "yours" and there is "mine"

There is a desert veiled in pavement

And there's a city of seven hills

All our debris flows to the ocean

To meet again, I hope it will

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you?

There is an answer in a question

And there is hope within despair

And there is beauty in a failure

And there are depths beyond compare

There is a role of a lifetime

And there's a song yet to be sung

And there's a dumpster in the driveway

Of all the plans that came undone

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you?

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you?

There is whiskey in the water

And there is death upon the vine

And there is grace within forgiveness

But it's so hard for me to find

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you?

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you?
