Song for the Sun Lyrics

The sun is rising over the buildings across the street
The sun is god's face looking down at me as he cries for what he's done
I will survive my life if I close my mind to all the things
I could never, never, never, never, never, never be
You used to be there when I'd cry, though you'd not see fit to comfort me
I don't need you anyway, and I'll never call you back to me
But I miss the way your body looks when you lay there naked next to me
But I won't cry, no, I will survive the light of the sun as it enters me
Let it come right in, let the sun come in
Let the sun come in, let it come in
Let it come on in, let the sun come in
Let the sun come in, let it come in

Now they say that hell is a place where memory's dead and the only
thing left is this moment moving further away
But I will always try to remember the way you moved your lips
against mine in our lonely bed
If I forget who you were then, I will lose what I am now
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Never again, no, never again
But I won't cry, no, I will survive the light of the sun as it enters me
Let it come right in, let the sun come in
Let the sun come in, let it come in
Let it come on in, let the sun come in
Let the sun come in, let it come in

A sad little love song/lament.

P.S. The real shock is that the song itself is downright joyous. And the chorus... Positive sentiments?

The sound reminds me of a cult-ish praise song. Wonderful.
