Under the Sun

from Wires EP by Matt Wheeler

/

about

Very loosely based on some of the sentiments from the book of Ecclesiastes.

lyrics

A wise man once said there’s nothing new under the sun
I’m starting to believe him, ‘cause all I see has all been done

I’m burning my hands holding this torch for you
A pain I’ll gladly endure even with a skin too few

Rain must fall down, down on every man
But I’m singing outside your window,
Asking for your hand
I sense the colors changing, wry smile on your lips
You say, “There’s nothing new
Under the sun”
Under the sun
Under the sun

I see my reflection, in a mirror, dimly
You’re holding that key to daybreak, now won’t you share that with me?

I’m burning my hands holding this torch for you
Burning my hands
