Staring At The Sun

Anthony Stewart Head

When I was a child, and didn't know any better
I used to stare at the sun for minutes at a time.

And after a while, the bright golden circle of the sun
Would melt away into the blue of the sky.

Like I was looking at a deep blue sky within a sky
Someone asked me about her the other day.

And I found myself standing there describing her
Her eyes - lost in the thought of her eyes.

Such a deep, deep blue...
Like staring into the sun.

When I was a child, and didn't know any better
I used to stare at the sun...
