Follow The Sun

FOLLOW THE SUN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

SUMMER LEAVES FELL FROM THE TREES 

AS THE SUN BEGAN TO RETREAT

A REVERED SILENCE FELL OVER THE PARKS

THE WOODS, THE TREES

IF YOU CAN'T HEAR A SOUND

WHILE THE SKIES ARE TURNING GRAY 

THE SUN IS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY

RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW, IT'S TURNING COLD

ICY FINGERS, NOVEMBER MOON 

RUNNING DOWN THE CLOCK

ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT'S STOPPED

PAINTED AUTUMN LIES SLEEPING

GRAY ON THE GROUND

HAPPY LAUGHTER'S GONE

I PACE THE FLOOR, PONDERING

UPLIFTING SWEET SUMMER DAYS 

STRIP AWAY THE SUN

AND GOOD THINGS FOLLOW IT AWAY

I WISH I WAS ONE

SPIRIT RESTED CALM

LONGING FOR THE SUN

SILENT IN THE SNOW

BLINDED BY THE AFTERNOON GLOW

I SHOULD JUST SEE MYSELF

I WASN'T CUT OUT FOR WINTER

IT SLOWS ME DOWN

YOU KNOW I LIKE TO MOVE AROUND IN THE SUN

HAPPY WHEN WINTERS DONE 

THE TREES ARE TOO HEAVY LADEN DOWN WITH SNOW 

DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY

BUT I TALK TO THEM ANYWAY

SNOWMEN STAND ON GUARD, IN EVERY YARD

CARS SNOWED UNDER WAITING FOR THE SPRING 

FOLLOW THE SUN, I'D GIVE ANYTHING

TIRED OF BEING COLD, I CAN'T FEEL MY FINGERS

I CAN'T FEEL MY NOSE

TRACKS LAID DOWN IN THE SNOW

SEE WHERE THEY GO

AND IF I FIND MY WAY, TO FOLLOW THE SUN

WELL I'LL BE GONE

REVERED SILENCE, FALLING SNOW

IN THE PARKS, THE WOODS, THE TREES

AND BENEATH THE STREETLIGHTS GLOW

SURE IT'S PEACEFUL BUT IT SLOWS ME DOWN

AND I DON'T WANT TO STOP

SPRING IN MY HEELS

SUMMER IN MY HEART

THE ANTICIPATION, LET IT START

SUMMER LEAVES, LOOK BETTER ON THE TREES

CATCHING THE SUN

NODDING IN A SUMMER BREEZE
