Won't You Rise Once More

I remember our relationship,
Me and you, sunshine
You'd beam upon my smothe pale skin
With you, I'd never cry
And dreaming, daylight, crystal beams
Of vibrant rays of light
The colors dance about me
In my own delight
I'd close my eyes and laugh with you
Some days youd make me red
Some days, though, you left me here
Without sunshine upon my head
And today, dear sun, where have you gone
Have you found another child
Have you found someone to shine upon
And find within them, a smile
Have you brightened up a little boy
Whose home is slipping fast
Would you give him something, someone like you
A light, a love at last
Or have you hid behind the clouds
I could have sworn you didn't shine
Not in quite the same old way
You did, when you were mine
Your light seems so reflected
This worlds slowly changed
If I had stayed with you, then
I guess we'd stay the same
But oh, dear sun, I miss you
You did not rise today
You did not rise for months, it seems
The moon has taken you away
I wonder what the moon would say
If I had asked for you
For the moon gives me not happy times
It leaves me feeling blue
What would you say, oh sun of mine
If I asked you to come home
Be mine again, and shine again
So that I won't be alone
The happy times remembered
Make me beg with greed
But if you at least, just rose again
Happiness might supersede
I'm sitting on my front steps
For eternity on end
I'll stare upon the moonlight
And dream of you again
I shall sit here, I shall weep
My back is bare on stone
The chills of fall shall be the call
To a prayer, that goes unknown
I shall sit here, I shall weep
Begging you to rise
Staring, for eternity
Upon an emtpy sky
