Lyrics Levellers – Shadow On The Sun
Text:
We’ve been singing since the morning
Till the setting of the sun
We sing of everything forever
‘Cause we’ve been going for so long
Ever since we started the only one
It’s got words that bring us heaven
It’s got words that give us hell
It’s got tunes that shine like diamonds
And vicious notes as well
It’s the feel of warm rain
The song of forever the unbroken chain
There’s a shadow on the sun
That used to shine so brightly
For some it all goes wrong
Who refuse to step lightly
There’s a break in the clouds
Let the cold sun on me
Like the new born doubt
That nothing’s ever gonna be free
It tells the sentiment of growing
And a tale of lonely death
It says everything worth knowing
Till you draw another breath
Hear the clouds ring on
The song of forever the only one
And it gets me like nothing gets me
Then it throws me right back down
It holds me then it chokes me
As it lays me on the ground
Some will write a new line
Then some will pass in on
Some just sing the same verse
But most will get it wrong
Play the heart of a cold song
Ever since we started the only one
That’s the heart of a cold song
We sing the heart of the cold song
That’s the heart of all songs
That’s the heart of a cold song
