Early light that burns my eyes A minute more the sun will rise And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold I'll be dead asleep by then, Shut up in this box again Until it's gone Outside I can hear it Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead I'd be there to see it, but I can't get out of bed Since the day you left the weather always feels this way One more blue sunny day Sunny day Looking for an easy mark I hit the Denny's after dark And take a lonely waitress home to drink She's sincere but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you My blood goes cold I guess this date is over Several hours later i'm the only one awake All these streets are empty it's just me and my mistake One by one the stars go out, as black skies turn to gray One more blue sunny day Sunny day Sometimes I see how long I can wait, Tempting disaster by my garden gate My trembling hand's on the cellar door, Trying not to think of what it is i'm waiting for All at once I've had enough, As if i'm made of sterner stuff, I take a breath and open up the door Dawn breaks hard and falls on me For just one moment I can see The pale blue skies I close my eyes because the world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away, Braced against the beauty of another perfect day As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away One more blue sunny day Sunny day
