Words and music by Roddy Frame



Sand seperates the sea

From me on my desert island

Sun obliterates the sky

And I, I'm just like anyone

No matter how I try

I wanna see the sun.



And it shines

To luminate the distance

Illustrate the difference

Between you and me

And it collides with clouds

That set the sky free

Indicating right, indicating wrong

I'm just like anyone

I wanna see the sun.



Moon through many stages move

And light love

Like a silent L.D.

Swoon and every single kiss

You ever lit like this

Is gonna feel like bliss

So just reflect the sun

And guide everyone.



And it shines

To luminate the distance

Illustrate the difference

Between you and me

And it collides with clouds

That set the sky free

Indicating right, indicating wrong

So just reflect the sun

And guide everyone.



A cable car above the bay

Below the stars saying "are you okay?"

To the one you love.

It swings like a song

As it strings you along

You suspend your belief

There's no need, baby I've gone there

Stars shone there.



And they shine

To luminate the distance

Illustrate the difference

Between you and me

See them collide with clouds

That set the sky free

Indicating right, indicating wrong

And just like anyone

I wanna see the sun

I wanna see the moon

I wanna see the stars

I wanna see them shine.
