The Sun Never Shone That Day - 2019 Remaster Lyrics
A-Ha
Lyrics
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should have walked away
I know that now but I'm here to say
Everybody walks away
Everybody's led astray
Breaking every plan to stay
It happens all the time
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should have walked I know
I see that now but it's hard to show
Everybody's got to go
Everybody tells you so
Everybody wants to know
Why it happens all the time
I can't see the point of turning everything upside down
I can't see the point of greeting everything with a frown
I can't see the point of painting everything black or white
I can't see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should have walked away
I know that now and I'm here to say
Everybody holds their own
Everybody lives alone
Everybody hogs the phone
It happens all the time
Everybody feels the strain
Everybody holds the pain
Everybody stays the same
It happens all the time
I can't see the point of turning everything upside down
I can't see the point of greeting everything with a frown
I can't see the point of painting everything black or white
I can't see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
