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)
