Sunshine, so you found my window, but you won't find me
'Cause sunshine, I got my friend the darkness here to hide me

Sunshine, as far as I'm concerned I'm where I want to be
Sunshine, as far as you're concerned don't be concerned for me

'Cause she don't love me, she don't love me anymore
No, she doesn't want me, she doesn't want me anymore

She grew tired of chasin' rainbows
Oh, I loved her true, God knows how I tried
But I guess she was right, I'm at the end
I've found a pot, but there's no gold inside

So sunshine, can't you see I'm not alone, don't bother me
Sunshine, pack up your dawn and move on down the street

Sunshine, as far as I'm concerned I'm where I want to be
Sunshine, as far as you're concerned don't be concerned for me

'Cause she doesn't want me, oh-oh, anymore
She doesn't love ......... FADE
