Hillsburn - Sun Ought to Shine Lyrics

The scene then was daylight failing
You on the sidewalk, me at the railing
A raincloud growled low in the distance
My sorrow, my engine, warming its pistons

"I can't live without ya," I said
You were grinning
Such are the swamps that we swim in

Wherever you go, the sun ought to shine
Though it won't shine for you all of the time
But clouds are just clouds
And mirrors just sand
And if you should want me
You know where I am

Old songs on the radio play
I can't feel 'em
Will I someday?
Strangers walk slow past my window
Kind, gentle people, maybe
But how will I know?

I wish I could hate you, but I cannot do it
You are my fortune, my ruin

Wherever you go, the sun ought to shine
Though it won't shine for you all of the time
But clouds are just clouds
And mirrors just sand
And if you should want me
You know where I am

I work and I wash and I laugh when I can
But I don't feel nothing
And no one understands
Why I miss you - my shackle, my jailer, my jail
Memory's the vessel
Time is just a sail

I still can't live without you
And you're still here grinning
Such are the swamps that we swim in

Wherever you go, the sun ought to shine
Though it won't shine for you all of the time
But clouds are just clouds
And mirrors just sand
And if you should want me
You know where I am
