I need love like a deep black night As the evening dies on the hot cement The god of cider makes you wiser The god of beer makes you feel here I need love like old woodsmoke The ashes of life pile up in the trees The splinter in my finger Ground beneath my heel Come on baby, you know you're the one Every shadow is the sun Shining down on everyone I need love like the end of a day The apple they say keeps the doctor away Shadows at noon, too many to count The dust that's blowing Through my bank account Every colour is the sun Raining down on everyone Every shadow is the sun Shining down on everyone
