The Same Old Sun

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Tell me what to do

Now the light in my life is gone from me

Is it always the same

Is the night never ending


Tell me what to do

All the hopes and the dreams went wrong for me

There's a smile on my face

But I'm only pretending


Taking my life

One day at a time

Cause I can't think what else to do

Taking some time

To make up my mind

When there's no one to ask but you


The same old sun would shine in the morning

The same bright eyes would welcome me home

And the moon would rise way over my head

And get through the night alone


And the same old sun will shine in the morning

The same bright stars will welcome me home

And the clouds will rise way over my head

I'll get through the night on my own


Tell me what to do

Now there's nobody watching over me

If I seem to be calm

Well it's all an illusion

Tell me what to do

When the fear of the night comes over me

There's a smile on my face

Just to hide the confusion


Taking my life

One day at a time

Cause I can't think what else to do

Taking some time

To make up my mind

When there's no one to ask but you


The same old sun would shine in the morning

The same bright eyes would welcome me home

And the moon would rise way over my head

And get through the night alone


And the same old sun will shine in the morning

The same bright stars will welcome me home

And the clouds will rise way over my head

I'll get through my life on my own
