Once upon a time      I was on a mind to lay your burden down      And leave you where you stood      You believed I could      You'd seen it done before      I could read your thoughts      And tell you what you saw      And never say a word      But now that is gone      Over with and done      And never to return            I can tell you why      People die alone      I can tell you why      The shadow on the sun            Staring at the loss      Looking for the cause      And never really sure      Nothing but a hole      To live without a soul      And nothing to be learned            I can tell you why      People go insane      I can show you how      You could do the same      I can tell you why      The end will never come      I can tell you why      The shadow on the sun            Shapes of every size      Move behind my eyes      Doors inside my head      Bolted from within      Every drop of flame      Lights a candle in      Memory of the one      Who lived inside my skin            I can tell you why      People go insane      I can show you how      You could do the same      I can tell you why      The end will never come      I can tell you on      The shadow on the sun            Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Shadow on the sun      Sun      Sun
