Staring at the Sun - Anthony Stewart Head, George Sarah

When I was a child, and didn’t know any better

I used to stare at the sun for minutes at a time

And after a while, the bright golden circle of the sun

Would melt away into the blue of the sky

Like I was looking at a deep blue sky within a sky

Someone asked me about her the other day

And I found myself standing there describing her

Her eyes — lost in the thought of her eyes

Such a deep, deep blue…

Like staring into the sun

When I was a child, and didn’t know any better

I used to stare at the sun
