Sum

Have you ever been sun burnt

On the longest day of the year

Sixteen hours

Summer solstice

Burning up the tropic of cancer

Too much for a little dancer

Like you

Let me lay a fresh seam

Banking on a moonbeam

Circle of illumination

You're always with the hesitation

Making today longer than it needs to be

Have you ever had a black out

Just smears of color

Leaning on your lover

Twisted in the covers

With whomever that may be

Light fills your room early

The shortest night seems so blurry

Have you ever been sun burnt

On the longest day of the year

One of those days

You want to get through quick

Well honey, this ain't it

Circle of illumination

Like a pistol

Pointed straight at your face

Burning humiliation

No saving grace

That's your fear

On the longest day of the year
