Afraid of Sunrise - Marillion

Dressed in black, no turning back

We blanked out on the Great White Way

Fingers in desire’s crack

We’d bridge and tunnel into day

Abandoned to the salt of skin

Abandoned to the highway

Sand running in the hourglass

Heat of leather and mirages

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash

Scorch marks on the road ahead

Friendly fire in hostile waters

Keep the faith, don’t lose your head

Don’t lose your head

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight

Afraid of Sunlight

Agave flower

Sleep beside me

Driving on

Nevada’s burning

Phoenix rising

Driving on

To sunlight

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash

Scorch marks on the road ahead

Friendly fire in hostile waters

Keep the faith, don’t lose your head

Don’t lose your head

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight

How do we now come to be afraid

Afraid of sunlight
