lyrics

The European sun doesn’t leave you alone
It burns your skin off your bones
It’s there every day, it won’t go away
Turning the soil to stone

The European sun doesn’t hide behind the clouds
It’s not shy, It’s brash and it’s proud
But it needs to be loved, shining down from above
The European sun’s always out

The European sun shines down on European sons
And daughters. It’s the light on the water
The glare on the sand, the tan on the tanned
It tears the bricks from the mortar

The European sun is the burn on the burned.
Who hide in the shade of cathedrals
Through the glare on our eyes we peer at the stones
And the pilgrims lighting their candles

If the European sun were to come here to stay
Or just to visit for a day
We’d be burning as one until we were well done
Oh won’t you return, my European sun?

The European sun shines down on European sons
And daughters. It’s the light on the water
The glare on the sand, the tan on the tanned
It tears the bricks from the mortar
