Drifting Sun Lyrics

Well, sitting on a stone
Sitting all alone
Sticky things are rolling down the mountain
Well, see the lonesome tramp
Who's living in the damp
Nobody's in the valley
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh it's so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long
all night long

Daydreams are of silent blue
Icy wings will carry you
Well, midnight sun will never shine
Just ravings of a fool you think
And laugh about him all the time
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh it's so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long, all night long
all night long, yeah

White pale velvet autumn sun will fade away
Forgotten life will finish now in endless gray
Some days are drifting haze
Some days are glowing blaze
Some days are tides of life
Some days are tides of life

White pale velvet autumn sun will fade away
Forgotten life will finish now in endless gray
Some days are drifting haze
Some days are glowing blaze
Some days are tides of life
Some days are tides of life

Staggerin' along a tropic highway
Crazy lights are whirling 'round and 'round
Hell or heaven, night or day
Burning fingers push the sun away
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long

Wind Of Change

Rock You Like A Hurricane

Still Loving You

Send Me An Angel

The Zoo

Well, sitting on a stone
 Sitting all alone
 Sticky things are rolling down the mountain
 Well, see the lonesome tramp
 Who's living in the damp
 Nobody's in the valley
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Oh it's so cold right here
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Shine on all night long
          all night long

Daydreams are of silent blue
 Icy wings will carry you
 Well, midnight sun will never shine
 Just ravings of a fool you think
 And laugh about him all the time
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Oh it's so cold right here
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Shine on all night long, all night long
          all night long, yeah

White pale velvet autumn sun will fade away
 Forgotten life will finish now in endless gray
 Some days are drifting haze
 Some days are glowing blaze 
 Some days are tides of life
 Some days are tides of life
 
 White pale velvet autumn sun will fade away
 Forgotten life will finish now in endless gray
 Some days are drifting haze
 Some days are glowing blaze 
 Some days are tides of life
 Some days are tides of life

Staggerin' along a tropic highway
 Crazy lights are whirling 'round and 'round
 Hell or heaven, night or day
 Burning fingers push the sun away
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Let it shine on all night long
 Shine on, shine on sun
 Let it shine on all night long

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Is it a song about the seasons? Is it a song of a place?
