The Sun Refused to Shine

And all the guests were guessing there Fake tender smile blinded Many a doubtful eye It's almost to much to bear Give a careless rose A thorn for her to needle all her life The sun refused to shine Oh, the sun refused to shine Oh, the one you chose was wrong He will only brush away And paint your dreams all blue I know it won't be long A bridal flower crushed 'Neath his unloving shoe The sun refused to shine Oh, the sun refused to shine You hold the lies you sold yourself Still you clutch an ancient relic A holy fragment of the truth There's a burning need for the wealth Of a settled life to calm The spirit of unsettled youth The sun refused to shine The sun refused to shine The sun refused to shine The sun refused to shine Yes, the sun refused to shine --- The Sun Refused to Shine - Richard Hawley
