Away from the sun

from Sinatra's Bones (album, 2014) by Floyd Thursby

/

lyrics

I emptied my bag onto the empty bed
I emptied my thoughts out of my empty head
I shot an empty stare through the screen of the blank TV
And I could not see the man that I used to be

CHORUS
I know that time can be a weapon in your hand
I know that love can treat you wrong
I know that wherever I am going my shadow’s gone ahead
Because I am walking away from the sun
I am walking away from the sun

She is gone and we are done – I got that telephone call
And I was crying like a drunken sailor sliding down a wall
But too long gone is too many goodbyes too late
I can be strong but I can’t turn back fate

CHORUS

So goodnight to the day that took my baby away
Goodnight to the day that stole my heart
Welcome to a night of shattered stars and a broken moon
Welcome to a sky that’s falling apart

CHORUS
