This town an empty mansion
Beautiful, but cold and lonely
It wears on me each passing day
Each morning that I wish if only
A dog that never leaves his cage
Will never learn to smell the roses
So in his cage he'll waste a way
A world outside but he'll never know it
Where does the sun shine
And warm you like a tender kiss
Where I could hold your hands without mittens
That's where I'd like to be
Oh
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
They say the grass is always greener
But I've been lied to before
There must be a place where grass is greenest
Across the world on a far different shore
To see this city one last time
In the rearview mirror, far behind
I watch as it fades into the sunrise
I watch as it fades out of my mind
Where does the sun shine
And warm you like a lover's kiss
Where I could hold your hands without mittens, oh
That's where you'll find me
Oh
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Where does the sun shine overhead
And hold you in its warm embrace
Where I could hold your hands without mittens, oh
That's where I'll be
