Lost It In The Sun

The Gathering Field

Guess I was not thinking about anything

I guess I was just coasting along

Don't know how I ever let her get away

I guess that I just lost it in the sun

Sorrowful, my heart is like a desert plain

I'm a nomad drifting alone

Broken hearted's looking like my middle name

I guess that I just lost it in the sun

I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh

Memories in my head like bullets in a gun

On the sea of love we ran into an iceberg

Through our anchor down then lost it in the sun

Lord have mercy

Spectral visions danced upon the cabin wall

And showed me all the things I'd done

Got sidetracked by an honest woman thin and tall

Saw Jesus hand then lost it in the sun

We made love to guarantee our emptiness

And after she said, "Least that's done."

I could have sworn she had a knack for tenderness

I guess that she just lost it in the sun

I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh

Memories in my head like bullets in a gun

One the sea of love we ran into an iceberg

Threw our anchor down and then lost it in the sun

We lost it in the sun

And only ones are only temporary

You can place the blame on me

Lasting love is over rated

Guess I circumnavigated all that once meant anything to me

Neath the blue sky we did run

Least until we lost it in the sun

Lord have mercy

I guess I was not thinking about anything

I guess I was just coasting along

I don't know how I ever let her get away from me

I guess that I just lost her in the sun . . .
