lyrics

“Staring Into The Sun” - Mike Turnwall

Raised up in a town, where the birds don’t fly
Mad man filled all, of the holes up in the sky
With smoke that breathes so cruel
Further forcing his rule
You better heed the warning

She moves in a sly, and perpetuous way
Her voice captured me, in a virtuous sway
Now I’m caught under her spell
And I can’t breathe so well
But we’ll see how it feels in the morning

‘Cause now I’ve seen her face
And I can’t look away
Have felt her grace
And our initials were shaped,
Carved in the, cellar door
Of the house next door
Should I see, what’s in store, what awaits?

Never have my lungs felt so bereft of air
Never has my mouth felt so thirsty,
Like I’ve neglected it for years
Never had a woman made me feel such despair
Makes a man realize what he desires, and fears

‘Cause now I’ve seen her face
And I can’t look away
Have felt her grace
And our initials were shaped,
Carved in the, cellar door
Of the house next door
Should I see, what’s in store, what awaits?

Now I can’t escape
The idea that something better, is waiting
For me, on the other
Side of the hill

‘Cause now I’ve seen her face
And I can’t look away
Have felt her grace
And our initials were shaped,
Carved in the, cellar door
Of the house next door
Should I see, what’s in store, what awaits?
