Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

The Sun Shines Down On Me

I’m getting closer to the fact

I’ve turned my back on silly dreams

I’m walking down that lonely road

And my heavy load

I didn’t bother to bring it

When the sun shines down on me

I fell like I deserve it

When the sun shines down

I’m hiding out where you can’t see

Behind the wall

In the back of the room

I’m crawling slowly through the dark

And feeling for

a punch line

When the sun shines down on me

I want to feel like I deserve it

When the sun shines down

I’m walking down that empty road

But it ain’t empty now

because I’m on it

And I’m getting closer to a home

That I can carry

and take home with me

When the sun shines down on me

I feel like I have to earn it

When the sun shines down
