The Sun Still Shines

from Never Say No by Jake Dollery

/

lyrics

The image of that day still haunts me now
Blood smeared across your furrowed brow
I couldn’t believe what you had done with your bear hands

Like a scene from a film your silhouette on the stair
At the bottom lay the man slumped back in his chair
His skin so grey and his eyes fixed in a lifeless stare

The sun still shines and the rivers still flow
The rain still falls and the flowers still grow
The birds still sing and the winds still blow
But now you’ve thrown that all away

You rushed outside into the pouring rain
Blood on your hands as you scream in vain
But strangely I thought that you still looked so pretty

Your childlike beauty and your innocent gaze
Long since lost in that murderous haze
I can’t believe the evil that dwells within your soul

The sun still shines and the rivers still flow
The rain still falls and the flowers still grow
The birds still sing and the winds still blow
But now you’ve thrown that all away

The sun still shines, the sun still shines,
The sun still shines, the sun still shines,
Shines, shines and now you’ve thrown that all away

Yesterday’s heroes are tomorrow’s fools
Now that you are on the front page news
The pieces of your shattered life lay in front of you

A tear slips down your solemn face
As you stand accused awaiting your fate
It’s time to pay for the life you took so cheaply

The sun still shines and the rivers still flow
The rain still falls and the flowers still grow
The birds still sing and the winds still blow
But now you’ve thrown that all away
