Dear Sun, You whipped my brow With your lashes of heat You made my mood sour Your shadow burnt my feet So now you owe me Good, I'm glad we both agree
After wearing me out today I ask in good faith As you go your way In your steady gait Take this message for me To my friend beyond the sea
Tell him to come back to me I miss him so much already My smiles have become very few And I'm always sad, always blue All I have left of him are memories That keep me in constant reveries
Be kind Sun, be kind to him Give him only warmth, don't burn his skin Don't forget to tell him all I said And tomorrow when I get up from bed I await his reply from you And I hope it's favourable too.
