April Child

You’re the lucky one
We wrote it on your face
Tongues got loose when you turned around
And we all began using your name

And on the day that you left town
They said the street light wasn’t the same
It went down

You’re the lucky one
Even though you’ve changed
Everyone knows that a single smile
Is the closest we can get to escape

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes

When the day is done
We’ll find another way
People will try to say their goodbyes
But it’s the darkest way to get through the day

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes

We’ve had bad days
Waiting for the rain
Mostly it’ll pass us by
And leave us just the same again

Like all the blue words
Humming in the air
Finding that the one we want
Is buried in our simple minds

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes
