Bio

Lyrics

GO TELL THE SUN

Go tell the rain
It should never come again
Except to shower kisses on her window pane

Go tell the birds
She wrote the words
To all the pretty songs they have ever heard

Go tell the sun … it doesn’t need to come
She’s outshining everyone

Go tell the sea
It can never be
As deep as the well of love in me

Go tell the sun … it doesn’t need to come
She’s outshining everyone

She’s the reason why the clouds roll on by

Just like a domino
I was knocked down long ago
I try not to let it show
Not to let it show
I don’t let it show
