Never Be The Sun Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

You'll never be the sun turning in the sky 

And you won't be the moon above us 

On a moonlit night 

And you won't be the stars in heaven 

Although they burn so bright 

But even on the deepest ocean 

You will be the light 

You may not always shine as you go 

Barefoot over stones 

You might be so long together 

Or you might walk alone 

And you won't find that love comes easy 

But that love is always right 

So even when the dark clouds gather 

You will be the light 

And if you lose a part inside 

When love turns around on you 

Leaving the past behind 

Is knowing you'll do as you always do 

Holding you blind 

Keeping you true 

Youll never be the sun turning in the sky 

And you won't be the moon above us 

On a moonlit night 

And you won't be the stars in heaven 

Although they burn so bright 

But even on the deepest ocean 

You will be the light 

You will be the light 

You will be the light
