I would shun the light

Share in evening's cool and quiet

Who would trade that hum of night

For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

Whose heart would not take flight?

Betray the moon as acolyte

On first and fierce affirming sight

Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.

I had been lost to you, sunlight

And flew like a moth to you, sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight.

Oh, the tale is the same

Told before and told again

A soul that's born in cold and rain

Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

At last can grant a name

To a buried and a burning flame

As love and its decisive pain

Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.

All that was shown to me, sunlight

Was something foreknown to me, sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight

Sunlight.

All these colours fade for you only

Carry me slowly, my sunlight

All these colours fade for you only

Carry me slowly, my sunlight.

Each day you rise with me

Know that I would gladly be

The icarus to your certainty

Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

Strap the wing to me

Death trap clad, happily

With wax melted I'd meet the sea

Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

Oh your love is sunlight

But it is sunlight.

Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.
