The Sun Sound
from Moon Lemon Tangle Hosted by Brendan Bonsack
Single by Brendan Bonsack When I was seven I was convinced I could hear the sun A high pitched roar Flailing the tall grass and Rumbling the tops of the trees You're big enough to walk now But watch out for snakes Around your feet Nana said it was just the insects Talking to each other But she couldn’t hear a thing It has to be the sun, I said I only ever hear it in the daytime Under the covers at night I gazed at my astronomy book That blazing giant and All of its planets in a row Pastel and smooth A finger and a thumb between them When I was seven That snowball Pluto Was still one of them My science book says Sound is the changes That we feel inside us In the air pressure pressed against us The lilt in Nana's voice Is a long summer's day And she said it's just the insects Talking to each other But she couldn’t hear a thing It has to be the sun, I said I only ever hear it in the daytime For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/the-sun-sound © Brendan Bonsack 2024
