Afraid Of Sunrise - Lyrics by Marillion


Lyrics

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)

Dressed in black, no turning back
We blanked out the great white way
Fingers in desires crack
We'd bridge and tunnel into day

Abandoned to the salt of skin
Abandoned to the highway
Sand running in the hourglass
Heat of leather and mirages

So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight
So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight

Dayglo jesus on the dash
Scorch marks on the road ahead
Friendly fire in hostile waters
Keep the faith, don't lose your head
Don't lose your head

Afraid of sunlight
So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight

Agave flower
Sleeps beside me
Drivin' on

Nevada's burnin'
Phoenix rising
Drivin' on
To sunlight

Dayglo jesus on the dash
Scorch marks on the road ahead
Friendly fire in hostile waters
Keep the faith, don't lose your head
Don't lose your head

So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight
How do we now come to be
Afraid
Afraid of sunlight
