lyrics

Heading for the Sun
Lyrics and Music: John P. Flynn

Intro:

Verse 1
I remember one dark night
Looked into your eyes
felt that you could see right in my soul

I tried to play it cool
Dark glasses mirror room
I was always drawn by your light

That was long ago
And I’m feeling kind of low
I never thought we end up in this place

I asked you what is wrong
Say nothing but silence roars
And the cold polite smile reins supreme

Chorus
Now I’m on the run
Heading for that setting sun
And I don’t think I’ll back this way again
Try as I may
I fail again today
So I guess I’ll be running to the sun

Verse 2
I made you laugh and smile
Made you happy for awhile
But I could feel the sadness of your soul

I’m not a perfect man
And I tried to understand
But I really just never had a chance

Chorus
Now I’m on the run
Heading for that setting sun
And I don’t think I’ll back this way again
Try as I may
I fail again today
So I guess I’ll be running to the sun

Solo:

Chorus
Now I’m on the run
Heading for that setting sun
And I don’t think I’ll back this way again
Try as I may
I fail again today
So I guess I’ll be running to the sun

Now I’m on the run
Heading for that setting sun
And I don’t think I’ll back this way again
Try as I may
I fail again today
So I guess I’ll be running to
Heading for that setting sun
Guess I’ll be running to
To late now damage done
I guess I’ll be running to the sun

Outro
Running to the Sun (repeat 8x)
