With the sun in your eyes   Always mistaking   The truth from the lies   In the love that you're making   Don't pretend it isn't so      With the sun in your eyes   It always reveals   A voluntary bondage   That always appeals   It's how you make the garden grow      But why this weakness   No-one knows   Our conscience cries his sorrow   While we sleep   But once the morning's dawned   Out the back-door   Silently he creeps      With the sun in your eyes   Always reminding   A sense of excitement   You've no hope of finding   With the chains that bind your feet      Belonging or longing   For a few empty hours   In a strangers bed   To chase away   A fear that's in your head      And why this weakness   No-one knows   The vacant faceless voices   On the phone   Bring words that offer no   Consolation when you're all alone      With the sun in your eyes      Beaten on the brow of history   A union forged in slavery   In all that's hope and decency   A hope for you and a hope for me   For every woman child and man   To those who'll chain you if they can   The babe you're bouncing on your knee   Needs your help now can't you see
