This song was composed for the 1996 musical film Grace of My Heart, as a sample of the surf rock played by the band fronted by Matt Dillon’s character. The song incorporates a theremin, a reference to the character experimenting with the instrument in the film.
Take a run at the sun when you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile rain lets up for awhile
Sun starts clearing your sky
Every night you cry alone, every tear a raindrop
And every time you're on your own
And you wish the hurt would stop
The sun will never hurt you, the warmth of rays will hold you
And every time you wonder why, remember what I told you
You've been waiting for a sign, you wouldn't need if you were mine
The littlest clouds could feel the sun shine
Take a run at the sun when you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile rain lets up for a while
Sun starts clearing your sky
Let the rays come inside they'll make everything right
Let the sun embrace you
All the feelings you hide let 'em go with the tide
Give the moon a place too
You been hurt the cloud's rolling, your heart is close to broken
Don't want to move you're feeling down, catch the rain it's coming 'round
The sun would never hurt you, the warmth of rays will hold you
And every time you wonder why, remember what I said
Take a run at the sun when you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile rain lets up for a while
Sun starts clearing your sky
Let the rays come inside they'll make everything right
Let the sun embrace you
All the feelings you hide let 'em go with the tide
Give the moon a place too
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun
