Who Asked the Sun To Come Up (2012)
Music and Lyrics by Davy Stone

lyrics

The dark cloud hanging over my head has always been my best friend
When I get hopeful, it reminds me, "Boy, you know how this ends."
I've tried over and over to escape it, always to no avail
So now I'm hanging around, hoping that someone will drag me out of this hell

Because it's day after day of the same old thing
And my only release is to write, play, and sing
Now I don't need to hear you tell me to be thankful for today
Who asked the sun to come up, anyway?

I thought I'd finally found someone to give me shelter from the rain
But all I ended up getting from her was just a different kind of pain
She pushes me away and pulls me back in, and it wears me out
So now I'm right back where I started; it's just me and my cloud

It's still day after day of the same old thing
And my only escape is to write, play, and sing
Now I don't want to hear you tell me to be grateful for today
Who asked the sun to come up anyway?

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
I say I'm doing fine because I'm a liar
I thought it might be nice to have you around
But you just brought me down

Yeah, it's day after day of the same old thing
And now all I can do is write, play, and sing
So don't you dare tell me I should be thankful for today
Who asked the sun to come up anyway?
