WHEN THE SUN HITS IT JUST RIGHT…

…

She says he’s the Sun,

Around which revolve her world and moon and stars

She says he’s the one

She says it’s been a while, but she’s happy for the first time

But I see her, in the mirror I see her

She makes up all those bruises and hides those scars

You know she’s lying when she says she’s fine

There’s a scent on the east wind

Carried over the mountains

She puts down her hair, lets it take flight

Learn to love what was once despised

Golden ringlets, diamond eyes

Buried treasure’s no treasure at all

Till the sun hits it just right.

She steps out onto the deck

In her slinky summer dress

Chiffon at its height

Lemon-yellow bright

Ultra-clingy, yet oh! so opaque

But when the sun hits it just right…

Step into the light.

Baby, baby.

Step into the light.

Uh-huh.

You know that I want it

Step into the, into the light, sugar…

In between the sunlight

And when it hits you

There’s eight minutes in which

Anything can go wrong

In between the sunlight

And when it hits you

There’s eight minutes in which

Anything can derail

When I had her

She was just a little girl

She asked why the sky is blue,

Turns black at night.

Say, there’s an atmosphere

And it surrounds the world

You know the air is clear

Till the sun hits it just right

Now I see her, a hater or a lover

Can she tell the difference anymore?

But you can’t get her to recognize

When you step into a dark room, you turn on the light

She orbits around him, doesn’t want another

’Cause when the Sun hits her, he hits it just right.
