Staring at the Sun

Summer stretching on the grass 
Summer dresses pass 
In the shade of a willow tree 
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue 
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer 
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think 
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find 
If you took a look inside 
I'm not just deaf and dumb 
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind 
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch , it won't disappear 
It's gonna itch and burn and sting 
You want to see what the scratching brings 
Waves that leave me out of reach 
Breaking on your back like a beach 
Will we ever live in peace ?
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach 
To the ones 
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find 
If you took a look inside 
Not just deaf and dumb 
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind 
Intransigence is all around 
Military still in town 
Armour plated suits and ties 
Daddy just won't say goodbye 
Referee won't blow the whistle 
God is good but will He listen 
I'm nearly great 
But there's something missing 
I left it in the duty free 
But you never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find 
If you stepped back inside 
I'm not sucking on my thumb 
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
