Lemon yellow sun
Ray Wilson & Stiltskin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forget me
That's what you said
For me it was a summer that I'll never forget
The best way
To believe in the fate
It brought us both together
And I know it will again
It's more then just a moment in time
No question in my mind

The spirit never lies
However hard you try
I could see your tears
In the lemon yellow sun
A picture of your face
Etched on my mind
There's no use trying to hide your feelings

Forgive me
For telling you straight
I'm not about to turn around
And just walk away
The best things
Come to those who wait
I'm hold on for dear life
No matter how long it takes
It's only just a question of time
There's no doubt in my mind

The spirit never lies
However hard you try
I could see your tears
In the lemon yellow sun
A picture of your face
Etched on my mind

No use trying to hide your feelings

I carry a secret I've no one to tell
There's something that I've needed to say farewell to
Follow your instincs
Listen to your soul
There's no one else who knows
No one else who truly knows

Forget me that's what you said
Forgive me but I can't forget
It's only just a matter of time
No question in my mind

The spirit never lies
However hard you try
I could see your tears
In the lemon yellow sun
A picture of your face
Etched on my mind
No use trying to hide your feelings

So tell me if I'm wrong
And that I'm not the one
Who made you feel alive
In the lemon yellow sun
I know what you're dreaming of
I know what you're feeling
I don't wanna stop myself believing

The chorus of the song emphasizes the emotional impact of their relationship, as the singer sees their love's tears in the lemon yellow sun, and the image of their face is etched in their mind. They urge their love interest to follow their instincts and listen to their soul, as no one else truly knows what they're feeling.
