LOST IN THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

JULY 2019

KEEP HOLDING OUT

KEEP HOLDING ON

ITS GOING WELL

IT WON'T BE LONG

YOU'LL BE LOST

IN THE SUN

TIMELESS WHEN

ITS ALL SAID AND DONE

KINDNESS AND A 

HAPPY ENDING TO A

NEW BEGINNING

I ALWAYS KNEW

BUT I WASN'T SURE

IF I'D MAKE THE CONNECTION

RUNNING FAST, RUNNING HARD

YEARS WITH NO CARD

LIVING LEAN

STREETS WERE MEAN

LIFE UNKIND

LET YOU UNWIND

UNTIL THERE'S

 NO MORE TO PULL

JUST A SHRED OF HOPE

WAS ALL I HAD

ANYTHING MORE

I'D HAVE TO ADD

I NEVER GET CAUGHT UP

IN FAILURE 

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO QUIT

I'M NOT HAVING ANY OF IT

I SHAKE IT OFF

I SLIP AWAY

TOMORROWS NEVER

JUST ANOTHER DAY

SEE WHAT I CAN GET

 TO COME MY WAY 

JUST WHAT I DESERVE

THAT'S ALL

I'M JUST FOLLOWING A STAR

THAT SOMETIMES

I CAN'T SEE

NO I WON'T BE LEFT BEHIND

YES ITS TRUE I FOUND A WAY

REACH DOWN SO FAR

TO DO MY BEST TODAY

SO TOMORROW DOESN'T 

GET IN THE WAY

I ALWAYS KNEW

BUT I WASN'T SURE

YOU CAN'T GET RICH

IF YOU WERE NEVER POOR

I DON'T KNOW 

HOW TO QUIT

I'M ALWAYS IN

 THE MIDDLE OF IT

NO I'M FAR FROM

 FINISHED YET 

STILL RUNNING

WITH THE FLAME

EDGING CLOSER EACH DAY

GETTING NEARER

TIMELESS WHEN ITS

ALL SAID AND DONE

LOST IN THE SUN

FOUND ON

A MOONLIT NIGHT

ON A MISTY BEACH

AT DAWN

THE WAVES LAPPING

AT THE SHORE

OUR FOOTSTEPS

IN THE SAND

IN NO HURRY

TIMELESS WHEN ITS DONE
