2. Under the sun

I like to think of you under the sun
It makes me feel better that way
Standing there under the sun
I know I’m going to face that day

I’ll try a little harder
Perhaps I’ll see once more
A closely guarded scene I
Thought I saw
I’ll stare a little longer
To make the outline move
But the shadow flutters
Nothing to prove

I cannot catch your likeness
The way I know I should
To move the still to real life
Put flesh on wood
The light falls short to shadow
The light is crowding in
I know that I have failed you
Once again

I like to think of you under the sun
It makes me feel better that way
Standing there under the sun
I know I’m going to bear that day
