88 Kilos of Sunshine - Melting Sunlight
And the morning's melting sunlightCatches dust motes as they fall
Dressed up warmly for the busride
Jostled forward by the throng
She lifts her head up for a greeting
Strangers' faces drawing near
And this place of dusty meeting
Moves to rhythms she can't hear
The driver motions her to enter
The money quickly changes hands
She checks her watch to mark her progress
If only time was less like sand
They pass the suburbs that are sleeping
Yet to wake and feel the chill
And this secret she's been keeping
Locked up there against her will
Her only sin a mother's heart
That yearns to hold the son she lost
To a shame she doesn't understand
Her soul left dying on a cross
Her burden is asleep here
As long as she behaves
And if she stops her weeping
She knows that she'll be saved
Her words are warmth that breaks the winter
Her heart had so much more to give
When he died she thought she'd follow
If only she did not believe
In this higher order monster
Who wants her here to live her grief
Each day a hollow footstep
That takes her closer to relief
Her only sin a mother's heart
That yearns to hold the son she lost
To a shame she doesn't understand
Her soul left dying on a cross
Her burden is asleep here
As long as she behaves
And if she stops her weeping
She knows that she'll be saved
