Lyrics

Is that the sun on the horizon

Contemplation of whether the shining object is the sun rising on the horizon.

Or another deity that must be loved

Questioning if the shining object is a deity that deserves love.

I spend the day trying to hide from

Spending the day avoiding something and trying to keep it hidden.

Then let it slip away upon a dream

Allowing something to slip away as if it were a dream.


In the lee of hills

In a sheltered position behind hills.

Down in the valley

Located in a valley.

She's tending to somebody else's needs

Reference to someone attending to the needs of another person.

While up on high where the winds prevailing

Being in a higher place where the prevailing winds are searched for a name.

I'm searching for a name within the breeze

Actively seeking a name within the breeze.


If you're doubting me

Challenging others to doubt and suggesting they observe the effects of the sun.

See what the sun will bring

Encouraging observation of the positive outcomes brought by the sun.


You're in my mind

Expressing the presence of someone in the speaker's thoughts.

At the break of day in the dead of night

Referencing the person in the mind during both daybreak and the darkness of the night.

You're in my mind

Reiteration of the person being in the speaker's thoughts.

When I'm out in front when I fall behind

Acknowledging the person's presence whether ahead or behind in life.


Is that the sun under her eyes

Questioning if the brightness under someone's eyes is the sun or a tear on another day.

Or another day, a tear that must be run

Speculating that a tear needs to be shed on another day.

I put at ease the the moving ocean

Calming the turbulent ocean and letting it drift away with the breeze.

And let it drift away upon the breeze

Allowing something to drift away on the breeze akin to a dream.


If you're doubting me

Reiterating the call to doubt and suggesting observation of the sun's effects.

See what the sun will bring

Encouraging the observation of positive outcomes brought by the sun.


You're in my mind

Expressing the persistent presence of someone in the speaker's thoughts.

At the break of day in the dead of night

Referring to the person being in the speaker's mind during various times of the day and night.

You're in my mind

Reiteration of the person's continual presence in the speaker's thoughts.

When I'm out in front when I fall behind

Acknowledging the person's presence whether leading or lagging in life.
