Summer Russell: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Burn the oil and trim the wick
And fan the embers
You've been up all night again
Then morning climbs the rainpipe
Rapping at your window
Like a lover waiting to get in

Who knows?
It might be different this time
It's not the way you always thought
It had to be, to seem worthwhile

And you don't have to be afraid,
For once, to have him on your mind
It feels alright to spend the morning
Sleeping naked with the sunshine

And it seems strange, the sort of things
You tried to hide from
Now they've finally come in sight
You want to tell him everything
You trip up trying to explain
But he just tells you over and over
It's alright

And you don't have to be afraid,
For once, to say what's on your mind
And don't it feel so good to hold
Your heart out naked with the sunshine

And now the music comes to you
You thought could only come with sorrow,
In days gone by--
You never dreamed a well so deep
Would be so easy to fill up
You wonder, how did it run dry?

But something tells you
That it's different this time
It's not the way you always thought
It had to be, to seem worthwhile
And you don't have to be afraid,
For once, to keep him on your mind
It feels alright to spend the morning
Sleeping naked with the sunshine
