Sun Don't Shine

(album: American Band - 2016)

When the sun don't shine
I'll be better when the sun don't shine
I like it better when the sun don't shine

When it's cold outside
I grab a sweater when it's cold outside
Get close together when it's cold outside
I get so happy when it's cold outside

I like it better when the sun don't shine
I'd much rather watch the clouds go by
Or watch the moon peak into my room
A little rain to make the roses bloom

I like it better when the sun don't shine
And I don't have to watch you say goodbye
I can stand behind the clouds and hide
A little rain to protect my pride
I like it better when the sun don't shine

I'm gonna love you till the big one comes and shakes my bones
And washes us out to sea
Have a blast till the markets crash and smoke and ash
Is left of these beautiful trees
The next morning it will be so lonely they'll have to send somebody around
To pick up the pieces of me
Pick up the pieces of me

I'll be better when the sun don't shine
I like it better when the sun don't shine
Clouds are forming in this state of mind
Always storming in this state of mine
When the sun don't shine
