lyrics

Sun Is Fallin'

Sun is fallin‘
Fallin’ down on me
Burns my skin
Made my throat so dry
Sun is fallin’
Fallin’ from the sky

My wife died last summer
Temperature was a hundred and three
“Gets hotter every year”
Was the last thing she said to me
She used to like to walk
Down by the river
Get right out in the middle
Jumpin’ rock to rock
Water splashin’ by her on all sides
Sittin up on top
She looked so happy

Sun is fallin‘
Fallin down on me
Sun is fallin’
Indiscriminately

Not a cloud in the sky
The morning my well went dry
I followed the horses down the valley
They didn’t lead me to drink
I followed the horses
Two days and a night and didn’t stop
By the end of the second,
Still couldn’t smell a drop
That’s where they left me ,
Chokin in the dust on my knees
And disappeared over the hill
And the sun fell slowly
Down behind the trees

Sun is fallin‘
Fallin’ down on me
Only shade I can find
Is when the buzzards fly by
Sun is fallin’
Like an enemy

Can’t grow cotton or sugar beets
Can’t grow no corn, can’t grow beans
These land won’t raise up enough to eat
Ain’t no place to raise a family
This land can’t feed them any more

If I live through the night
If I wake before I die
If l live to see the sun burn across the sky
Just one more time
Pray for thunder lightning and rain
Open up heaven again,
Shake the maker if you must
Stop turnin’ good dirt to dust
Fill the rivers to the brim
Spill a flood down into town
Tell the banker there that holds my deed
He can sink, he can swim or drown

Sun is fallin’, fallin’ down on me
Shakes my faith, left me lonely
Sun is fallin’ with no mercy
Sun is fallin’ down on me
