Even When the Sun Don't Shine
The Supersonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can fly even if you can't get high
You can shine even if there ain't no light
Not a crime, if you really do feel, lost at sea

You can ride even if your horse don't stride
You can hide even if it's just sometime
Don't mind, if the winds, still blow so damn cold
Even when the sun don't shine

I don't really care about those souls
Who really don't care about a wounded dog that you can see
And choose to kick while it's down on the ground

You can hide even if it's just a while
You can sigh even if the days go by




Just remember that the world keeps on spinning
Even when the sun don't shine
