And all guests were guessing there 
Fake tender smile blinded many a doubtful eye
It's almost too much to bear 
Give a careless rose a thorn for her to needle all her life 

The sun refused to shine 
The sun refused to shine

Oh the one chose was wrong 
He will only brush away and paint your dreams all blue 
I know it won't be long 
A bridal flower crushed 'neath his unloving shoe 

The sun refused to shine 
Oh the sun refused to shine
You hold the lies you sold yourself 
Still you clutch an ancient relic a holy fragment of the truth 
There's a burning need for the wealth 
Of a settled life to calm the spirit of unsettled youth

The sun refused to shine
The sun refused to shine
The sun refused to shine
The sun refused to shine
Yes the sun refused to shine
