Lifelong Sunshine
by Over the Rhine

Album: Changes Come - Live

The moon blind-sided the sky again
As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then
The slippery slide
You know I can't say when
I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly
With roiling joy
Lazy as sin
Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend
And the space he's in
It can make a girl grin
In the beginning of a lifelong fling

I wrote down a dream
I folded the note
Slipped in the pocket of my tattered coat
I wrote down a dream
In invisible ink
It never was mine I'm beginning to think
I wrote down a dream
What more could I do
I drew myself a picture and the picture was you
I wrote myself a riddle
I said what I wouldn't do
To give something good to a love like you

The moon blind-sided the sky again
As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then
The slippery slide
You know I can't say when
I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly
With roiling joy
Lazy as sin
Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend
And the space he's in
It can make a girl sing
In the beginning of a lifelong fling

I wrote down a dream
I folded the note
Passed it to you we stepped in our boat
Sailed 'round the world
We were hoping to find
More than the sum of all we left behind

I wrote down a dream
But what was it now
And why does it all feel so distant somehow
Did I take too long
Did I get it wrong
You're still the missing line in my favorite song

The moon blind-sided the sky again
As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then
The slippery slide
You know I can't say when
I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly
With roiling joy
Lazy as sin
Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend
And the space he's in
It can make a girl sing, sing yeah


Ain't no sunshine when you're gone
Ain't no sunshine when you're gone
Ain't no sunshine when you're gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away.

Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away.

Ain't no sunshine when you're gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away.

Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away.

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away.

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away.
