As The Sun Still Burns Away
(Alvin Lee)
A thousand cities in the night
Each one waitin' for the light
Ten million people plan their day
As the sun still burns a-way
As the Earth just spins in space
People plan their daily race
As the sun still burns a-way
Few say thank you for the day
All the people in their ties
Forget to look up at the sky
They exist another day
As the sun still burns a-way
I wonder just how long we'll last
When the final die is cast
Every day brings forth the time
When the sun forgets to shine
