Afraid Of Sunrise

(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
