Prodigal Sun

Looking out from an attic
Vultures arrow the sky
Refugees fleeing a conflict
Windows reflect in my eyes

My train of thoughts missed a station
Got off at Memory Lane
Oh she was kind of a looker
We were eleven or ten

Always on the run

Smothered in southern affection
She sure would never complain
Bad sitcom shot on location
Love and artificial rain

See the prodigal sun
Who's always on the run

Lost it and shot the messenger
It should have raised my alarm
Came back for more, i surrendered
We bailed and let in the dark

But here you'll shine on forever
Hovering now and then
Majestic flower of April
At times you'll surface again

Bearer of heartbreaking news
Rain sodden April's Fool

Here you'll shine on forever
Hovering now and then
Majestic flower of April
In time you'll surface again

Bearer of heartbreaking news
Rain sodden April's Fool
Artificial son
Forever on the run
