Afraid Of Sunlight Lyrics

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)

Drive the road to your surrender

Time comes around... out of my hands 

Small boats on the beach at the dead of night 

Come and go before first light 

Leave me running in the wheel 

King of the world 

How do you feel? 

What is there to feel?

So how do we now come to be 

Afraid of sunlight? 

Tell me girl why you and me 

Scared of sunlight?

Been in pain for so long 

I can't even say what hurts anymore

I will leave you alone

I will deny

I will leave you to bleed

I will leave you with your life

So how do we now come to be 

Afraid of sunlight? 

Tell me girl why are you and me 

Scared of sunlight?

All your spirit rack abuses 

Come to haunt you back by day 

All your byzantine excuses 

Given time, given you away 

Don't be surprised when daylight comes 

To find that memory prick your thumbs 

You'll tell them where to run to hide 

I'm already dead

It's a matter of time

So how do we now come to be 

Afraid of sunlight 

How do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight 

So how do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight 

How do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight

Dayglo Jesus on the dash 

Chalk marks on the road ahead 

Friendly fire in hostile waters 

Keep the faith 

Don't lose your head 

So how do we now come to be?....
