lyrics

Here you come again,
walkin’ down the street
that look of cool disdain
for everyone you meet.
So self-contained,
and that’s no mean feat
in these here troubled times.
But there in your facade is a tiny crack
it’s letting in some light,
but fear pushes back.
Just what are you afraid of?
It’s what we’re made of,
these crooked family lines.

If the sun forgets to shine
if the sun forgets to shine
get your money back,
no questions asked
if the sun forgets to shine

If your glass is half full,
shrink yourself down,
dive in and take a swim,
you ain’t gonna drown,
and if it is half empty,
well then there’s plenty
of air to go around.
If the northern lights
keep you up at night
don’t toss & don’t you turn,
don’t you fuss & fight,
go dancin’ with the stars, son,
and do it right,
get lost and you’ll get found.

Runnin’ from the rain,
what’s it gonna gain you
just to hide inside?
It’s not gonna last, you can let it pass
or you can be a brave fella
and reach for that umbrella.

Don’t run with the mob,
never let them rob you
of your own sunshine.
Keep it in a jar so that anywhere you are
you know it will get better
don’t blame it on the weather.

I was a sad galoot, and obtuse to boot,
no one could ever reach in
and pull the root
of my troubled youth
and the stubborn truth
that fed the greater lie.
I think I’ve heard enough
discouraging words
watch what you think,
careful who you hurt
‘cause we can choose to lose
these tear-down blues,
at least we have to try.

Get your money back no questions asked,
if the sun forgets to shine,
if the sun forgets to shine,
if the sun forgets to shine.
