Shapes in the Sun

Rode in, on solar rain Took my breath away, in the blink of an eye Footprints in hot, white sand At the edge of the land, where we came from We're just shapes in the sun Unraveling as we run Soon we'll be gone Fading one by one Ground shakes and the waves rise Tectonic mysteries, beneath troubled skies Circles spin, around and around This blue world in black space, in strange time We're just shapes in the sun Unraveling as we run Soon we'll be gone Fading one by one Every time I close my eyes I still see colours burning bright The heat from the afterglow It's just light from long ago Every time Every time Every time I close my eyes Every time I close my eyes We're just shapes in the sun Unraveling as we run Soon we'll be gone Fading one by one Every time I close my eyes I still see colours burning bright The heat from the afterglow It's just light from long ago Every time Every time Every time I close my eyes Every time I close my eyes Every time --- Shapes in the Sun - Allman Brown
