lyrics

Sun
never seems to know what to say,
leaves without a word for the day.

Moon
always seems to know what to do,
keeps me coming back to home to you.

Stars
always bring a near to your far,
float like fireflies in a jar.

Your eyes
always bring me down from the sky
tip the whirling wind starts to sigh,

(chorus)
Shall I tell it like it is?
Shall I tell it like it is?
Shall I tell it like it stands,
tell it like it sits,
tell it like it leans,
tell it like it seems,
shall I tell it like it is?
Shall I tell it like it is?


Sun,
gazing at the groves of green,
sees the sea sit, aquamarine.

Moon
moving through this mirror maze,
gives the grass a glistening glaze.

Stars
dot this silent. silvery dome,
here the fall feel at home.

Your eyes
always seem to know how much light
to cast into the noise of my night.

Shall it tell it like it is?

(Dyer)
