Sundial

[Verse 1]
Let me count the sunny hours and then disappear
Let me be that old fair-weather friend who's never really here
Catch me waiting out the night-time when you need me the most
But as you count the hours on your fingertips
The time goes faster than you thought

[Chorus]
I am a sundial, I cast in the sunlight and I am obscured by the passing of birds
And from dusk till dawn I slumber with eyes open and my arms raised to the world as it turns
But why must the sun forsake me so
Why must the sun forsake me so

[Chorus]
I am a sundial, I cast in the sunlight and I am obscured by the passing of birds
And from dusk till dawn I slumber with eyes open and my arms raised to the world as it turns
But why must the sun forsake me so
Why must the sun forsake me so
