Story behind the song
What is a house without the life of a family?
Exactly: It´s empty, cold, deserted.
But once there´s a bunch of people, kids, dog, well, it´s a home!
Lyrics
You are the sun
There´s a black brick wall, where there used to be a door
there ´s a deep dark hole, where there used to be a floor
this house is cold and damp and it is nobody´s home
if it weren´t for you, i´d sure be alone
but
You are the sun, you´re leading my path
You are the moon, my candle in the dark.
You are my star, a bright shining mark
You are my life, my water, my bread, my soul
The air tastes bitter, suspicous windows all around,
the living room deserted, for long there hasn´t been a sound,
the yard ist empty, there´s no trace of skin and bone,
if it weren´t for you, i´d sure be damn alone
cause
You are the sun, you´re leading my path
You are the moon, my candle in the dark.
You are my star, a bright shining mark
You are my life, my water, my bread, my soul
You are the sun, you´re leading my path
You are the moon, my way out of the dark.
You are my star, a bright shining mark
You are my life, my water, my bread, my soul
There´s a white shing wall, the warmest welcome at the door
there ´s a pile of baby toys on the wooden floor,
this house is a cozy nest and it´s our new home
and it´s just because of you that we are not alone.
You are the sun, you´re leading my path
You are the moon, my candle in the dark.
You are my star, a bright shining mark
You are my life, my water, my bread, my soul
