I didn't tell 'em I was going
Couldn't look 'em in the eyes
I took the good love in my heart
And I willed it to die
And when it wouldn't well I kept it
I didn't bother to cry
'Cause I knew I was going
Where the sun always shines
Where the sun always shines
Where the sun always shines
Up past the aeroplanes
And birds in the sky
Where the half dead and broken
Are grateful and kind
In the highest of cities
Where the sun always shines
On the ground my body wanders
In an open gun range
It moves with the gait
Of the battered and lame
But up here the bullets
Just feel warm and strange
And my mind is still living
Where the sky never rains
Where the sky never rains
Where the sky never rains
Where you're lighter than dust
Without number or name
Though there's an ocean below you
Of worry and blame
No teardrop can fall
Where the sky never rains
The higher you climb
The less faces you know
Till not one can tempt you
From that upturning road
It's the loneliest victory
That you'll ever know
When you get to that place
Where the moon always glows
Where the moon always glows
Where the moon always glows
And the stars are a blanket
That never gets cold
And you are a child
Of a million years old
When you get to that place
Where the moon always glows
Where the sun always shines
Where the sun always shines
Up past the aeroplanes
And birds in the sky
But there's no coming back down
From a city that high
So you stay there forever
Where the sun always shines
Yeah I'll miss you forever
Where the sun always shines
