The Sun Refused To Shine - Richard Hawley

And all the guests were guessing there

Fake tender smile blinded many a doubtful eye

It’s almost to much to bear

Give a careless rose a thorn for her to needle all her life

The sun refused to shine

Oh the sun refused to shine

Oh the one you chose was wrong

He will only brush away and paint your dreams all blue

I know it won’t be long

A bridal flower crushed 'neath his unloving shoe

The sun refused to shine

Oh the sun refused to shine

You hold the lies you sold yourself

Still you clutch an ancient relic a holy fragment of the truth

There’s a burning need for the wealth

Of a settled life to calm the spirit of unsettled youth

The sun refused to shine

The sun refused to shine

The sun refused to shine

The sun refused to shine

Yes the sun refused to shine
