[Verse 1] The sun got tangled in the telephone lines Half of his halo stayed behind The birds flew circles The church bells rang But he never climbed [Lead guitar answers vocal] The baker laughed Said "give it time" The preacher swore He looked just fine But every morning He showed up late And nobody asked him why [Pre-Chorus] Now the wheat grows pale And the river runs cold Everybody sees it Nobody knows [Chorus] The sun has a broken heart The sun has a broken heart He's still burning But he's falling apart The sun has a broken heart (Whoa-oh) The sun has a broken heart [Verse 2] The clouds pull blankets Across his face The daylight shakes But it can't escape The children wave From the schoolyard fence But he can't look their way [Instrumental lift] His gold turns white His fire turns thin He spends all day Trying to begin The whole damn sky Leans on his back And nobody lets him rest [Pre-Chorus] Now the wheat grows pale And the river runs cold Everybody sees it Nobody knows [Chorus] The sun has a broken heart The sun has a broken heart He's still burning But he's falling apart The sun has a broken heart (Whoa-oh) The sun has a broken heart [Bridge] [Half-time] [Drums drop out] Every day they take his light Every day they take Every day they take his light And ask him for more [Build] Every day they take his light And ask him for more Every day they take his light And ask him for more [Breakdown] The fields don't care The town don't care The world don't care As long as you're there [Screamed] AS LONG AS YOU'RE THERE [Final Chorus] The sun has a broken heart The sun has a broken heart He's still burning But he's falling apart The sun has a broken heart (Whoa-oh) Still showing up (Whoa-oh) Still showing up The sun has a broken heart
