Jonathan Coulton - Blue Sunny Day lyrics

Early light that burns my eyes A minute more the sun will rise And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold I'll be dead asleep by then Shut up in this box again Until it's gone Outside I can hear it Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed Since the day you left the weather always feels this way One more blue sunny day Looking for an easy mark I hit the Denny's after dark And take a lonely waitress home to drink She's sincere, but halfway through I find I'm wishing she was you My blood goes cold I guess this date is over Several hours later I'm the only one awake All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray One more blue sunny day Sometimes I see how long I can wait (getting pretty late, getting pretty late, pretty late) Tempting disaster by my garden gate My trembling hand's on the cellar door (just a little more, just a little more, little more) Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for All at once I've had enough As if I'm made of sterner stuff I take a breath and open up the door Dawn breaks hard and falls on me For just one moment I can see The pale blue sky I close my eyes because The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away Braced against the beauty of another perfect day As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away One more blue sunny day
