The Man Who Dreaded Sundown
Frausdots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a seagull in an endless flight
Circling the earth
Never landing
I flew into the eye of the secret storm
Then a bolt of lightning stuck my heart and I fell to the bottom of a wishing well I fell

[Chorus]
Deep into your eyes
They don't seem to change colors calling out my name
I've got silence running through my veins
Patients the moment never came

Moonlight shadows the desert sleeps
Will I find my way home tell my brother
Why why
Fate's an empty sky

Loves an ocean
Deep dark and blue

[Chorus]

Treasure I love your eyes
They don't seem to change
No more calling out my name
I've got silence running through my veins
Patients the moments never came

While I lie
While I lie
The nights cold and dark
The nights cold and dark

Please please please
CODA





[Repeat: x10]
Why why why
