Sun Won't Stop
Words by Holly Near, music by Steve Wood and Holly Near
Originally recorded on Sky Dances, reissued on Early Warnings
Children ran to the river bank
Left their shoes and swam toward the light
When dark came on and the dinner bell rang
The children were no where in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun wont stop for no one

Death paused on its weary way
Left the highway and stayed the night
When dawn came on and my mama rose
My daddy was no where in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun wont stop for no one

Who's gonna hold my hand when I'm old
I'll still have stories to tell
You will wish one day you had paused to listen
But I will be no where in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun wont stop for no one
