When the Sun Gets in Your Blood

Lyrics:

• These are the vignettes
• These are the spaces
• These are the moons
• Of our creation


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood


• To be a spaceship
• And make that turn
• To the only home
• For which we yearn


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood


• You lick the salt back
• And taste the sound
• Breathe the air
• Until you drown


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood


• A tiny earthquake
• That cracks the drive
• Through which a flower
• Will some day rise


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sand in the hourglass has turned to mud
• Then people everywhere will seek out all your love


• There’s no depression
• But symptoms rise
• A Sunday drifter
• With asphalt eyes


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood


• Glued to wheels
• And how they turn
• Worn to fossils
• With fuel to burn


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sand in the hourglass has turn to mud
• Then people everywhere will seek out all your love


• Clouds make windows
• That frame the sky
• Brushed with paint
• And hung to dry


• When the sun gets in your blood


• The price is set
• And the market holds
• No masterpiece
• Unless it’s sold


• When the sun gets in your blood


• Wide the redwing
• And stub the toe
• To find the gravel
• We used to know


• When the sun gets in your blood


• Long to winward
• On feather luck
• I love you bird
• Come and pick me up


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sun gets in your blood


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sand and the hourglass turn to mud
• Then people everywhere will seek out all your love


• When the sun gets in your blood
• When the sand and the hourglass turn to mud
• Then people everywhere will seek out all your love
• People everywhere will seek out all your love
