The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Believe in the Sun lyrics

They say there's a sun in the sky

They say there's a sun in the sky

but me, I can't imagine why

There might have been one

before you were gone

but now all I see is the night, so

I don't believe in the sun

How could it shine down on everyone

and never shine on me

How could there be

such cruelty.

The only sun I ever knew

was the beautiful one that was you

Since you went away

it's nighttime all day

and it's usually raining too

The only stars there really are

were shining in your eyes

There is no sun except the one

that never shone on other guys

The moon to whom the poets croon

has given up and died

Astronomy will have to be revised
