Blue Sunny Day

Early light burns my eyes

A minute more the sun will rise

And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold

I'll be dead asleep by then

Shut up in this box again

Until it's gone

Outside I can hear it

Birds are singing

Bees are buzzing

Sunshine's overhead

I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed

Since the day you left the weather always feels this way

One more blue sunny day

Looking for an easy mark

I hit the Denny's after dark

And take a lonely waitress home to drink

She's sincere and halfway through

I find I'm wishing she was you

My blood goes cold

I guess this date is over

Several hours later I'm the only one awake

All these streets are empty it's just me and my mistake

One by one the stars go out this black sky turns to gray

One more blue sunny day (sunny day)

Sometimes I see how long I can wait (I can wait, I can wait)

Tempting disaster by my garden gate

My trembling hands on the cellar door (just a little more, just a little more)

Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for

All at once I've had enough

As if I'm made of sterner stuff

I take a breath and open up the door

Dawn breaks hard and falls on me

For just one moment I can see

The pale blue sky

I close my eyes because

The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away

Braced against the beauty of another perfect day

As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away

One more blue sunny day (sunny day)
