Sad, Sad Sunshine - Al Kooper

Wild-eyed & flashin' cast upon me with the dawn

I have grasped the realization of the new day when it’s born

And while looking through a window

Framed with curtains that are worn

There is darkness even in the brightest morning

As the sun it slowly rises there is judgment in it’s glare

And it seems too much to ask to light a face that isn’t there

And the feelings that are wasted make you feel it isn’t fair

When she leaves without a whispered word of warning

SAD SAD SUNSHINE

Waking only those who really know

SAD SAD SUNSHINE

Wonder why you’ve kissed her with your glow

Magazines of memories I’ve read a thousand times

Just seem to find their way inside me

Like a dollars worth of dimes

There’s only one for every ten

No matter where ya try to climb

And the walls around me aim in one direction

I can still recall the drops of evening in your eyes

And your leaving in the morning

Should have come as no surprise

To one who based his way of living

On another’s world of lies

Oh I do not ever claim to seek perfection

SAD SAD SUNSHINE

Waking only those who really know

SAD SAD SUNSHINE

Wonder why you’ve kissed her with your glow
