'you are my brilliant sunshine'
you say, so meaningly so
yet there is only darkness here

when i speak, you listen to my mind
and when words leave, you follow--saying
'you are my brilliant sunshine'

my heart--so gullable, is too kind
it has fallen to the light you've cast
yet there is only darkness here

confused i've become by your line
its so parallel to this one, reading
'you are my brilliant sunshine'

and when time disappears, your alive
a starving star shining so bright
yet there is only darkness here

ugly is beauty to your profound eyes
and when i am lost, you follow by--saying
'you are my brilliant sunshine'
yet there is only darkness here.
