Coverup

The warmth of the sun on my skin 
The kiss of the wind in my hair 
All of nature wants to make me feel 
But there are days I dont want to care 

The darkness in my heart 
Sends storm clouds to the sky 
There could never be another 
That makes me want to cry 

My eyes to the heavens 
My soul drops to the floor 
Searching for my beauty 
The one who I'd adore 

Your sunshine is blinding 
I've covered up my eyes 
I'm going to stop looking 
Until this teardrop dries 

Mother nature you send me 
Butterflies and a blossoming rose 
Must you try to cover the agony 
in my heart, it hungers, it grows
