Blue Sunny Day (Live 2014)

Lyrics

Early light that 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
 Sun shines 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, 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 but 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, as black skies turn to gray
 One more blue sunny day
 Sunny day
 Sometimes I see how long I can wait
 Tempting disaster by my garden gate
 My trembling hand's on the cellar door
 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 skies
 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
 Thank you very much
