If every single day inside this milky way were gloomy
and if every kiss you blew me said goodbye you never knew me
if the atmosphere were clear and still my dear refused to shine

it'd be the north star off course with planets out of line
my compass set to magnetics is spinning round and round
and what I thought was stable ground has flipped my world upside down

from dusk to dawn is seeming much too long
I guess it's just that my sunshine must be gone


It's 98 degrees inside my body when it's warm
not that's it a winter storm but it's colder when you're gone
maybe lifeless in a sense like comparing earth to mars

in this galaxy I live in I am blind to other stars
The only radiation burning hydrogen I seek
when you implode I do to cause my molecules are weak.

My life, my strength, even my love is gone.
Must be I ain't seen my sunshine in much too long.
