  • How do you rate the morning sun?
    After a long and sleepless night
    How many stars would you give to the moon
    Do you see those stars from where you are?
    Shine on the lost and loneliest
    The ones who can't get over it

    You always wanted more than life
    But now you don't have the appetite
    In a message to the troubador
    The world don't love you anymore
    Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

    Stuck inside the rainbow years
    And you could happen to me
    'Cause I've been close to where you are
    I drove to places you have seen
    It all seems so familiar
    Like they'd been sent to kill ya

    It doesn't take an astronaut
    To float in the space is just a thought
    The morning brings a mystery
    The evening makes it history
    Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

    And the village drunk
    Sadly passed away
    It was a shame
    I never knew his name
    I wonder if he sat there every morning
    And watched the sun rise

    How do you rate the morning sun?
    It was just too heavy for me
    And all I wanted was the world
    If you are the starlet in the sun
    Don't go wasting your time
    'Cause there is no finish line

    And you don't see anything
    Not even love, not anything
    The night can take the man from you
    A sense of wonder overdue
    The morning brings a mystery
    The evening makes it history
    Who am I to rate the morning sun? Writer/s: DANIEL SPENCER MOULD, DON BLACK, KELVIN ANDREWS, RICHARD SCOTT MOULD, ROBERT PETER WILLIAMS, SCOTT ANDREW RALPH
