The rooster crows a tune at early dawn
But my sunshine's always gone
There's too much time for us to sit and sulk
While the light of day ain't around
So all I can do is think of you
And talk to myself all night long
But that's really no fun
And I need you like the warmth of the sun
Been so long I've kept my head down
Kickin' round stones on the ground
It's a big ole world out there for me to see
And I'm not half the man I wanna be
So like a lonesome hobo I sit and I itch
Waiting for that early morning train
But patience, there's none
And I need you like the warmth of the sun
The wind took away everything I own
Left me like a gypsy with a heart of stone
Like the sky is blue you can't deny it's true
When you got nothing you got everything to gain
And I feel like a slave to the things I crave
Just like any other man I guess
But there's no place to run
So I need you like the warmth of the sun
