lyrics

In the light of the full moon you came to me
Showed me all your world was, and all I could be
A Foundling child, embraced by a Fae
But you never told me, “Say goodbye to the day.”
I’d never see the sun that day
Never seen the sun since that day

You took up my hand, took me out of the light
And together we wandered the ever twilight
But your world was never mine, we knew this day would come
It was always we two, now I’m down to one
Gonna see the sun today. I wanna see the sun today

It’s autumn leaves on fire, stretched wide ‘cross the sky
But as I watch the twilight end, I can feel your good-bye
I look to the wind, will I see you again?
But the wind doesn’t answer, will it ever again?
But I saw the sun today, yes I saw the sun today

You defied your own people to take me in
And for seven long years we remained in your glen
Seven more years, a wandering dream
From dragon to ocean, to our house by the stream

Your sword would lead us, my staff just behind
And years passed like stardust in the endless night
I was daughter and sister, partner and kin
You were father and brother, teacher and friend

I awake every morn to the sun on my face
And I still hear your laughter far away from that place
And I wonder if you think of me in the soft summer rain
And I wonder if you’d want me if I came home again
Cause you’re worth the sun, any day
And I’m coming home to stay

Rootless Digital Single
by S. J. Tucker

supported by 8 fans who also own “Out of the Light”

I walked away from playing music ten years ago, disgusted with music and myself. SJ Tucker's songs have played no small part in bringing me back in a truly strange yet beautiful way. The blisters on my fingers and the gloom in my heart are nearly healed. I sat down my new acoustic guitar to write a comment about some heavy medicine and now I'm going to get back to my therapy. I can't thank you enough SJ! Keep up the good work! roddylloyd
