Afraid Of Sunrise

Marillion

Dressed in black, no turning back 
We blanked out on the Great White Way 
Fingers in desire's crack 
We'd bridge and tunnel into day 
Abandoned to the salt of skin 
Abandoned to the highway 
Sand running in the hourglass 
Heat of leather and mirages 

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight 
So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight 

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash 
Scorch marks on the road ahead 
Friendly fire in hostile waters 
Keep the faith, don't lose your head 
Don't lose your head 

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight 
Afraid of Sunlight 

Agave flower 
Sleep beside me 
Driving on 
Nevada's burning 
Phoenix rising 
Driving on 
To sunlight 

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash 
Scorch marks on the road ahead 
Friendly fire in hostile waters 
Keep the faith, don't lose your head 
Don't lose your head 

So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight 
How do we now come to be afraid 
Afraid of sunlight
