People Are Like Suns
Neil Finn

Sweet madness, it must be wrong
What kind of fool imagines love
With all this going on
Stars burning in the empty sky
And the city is aflame
With a million lights

And they come and they go
In the blink of an eye
People are like suns

Science will enable us to hear
To be crystal clear
To make diamonds in the shifting sand
Better take all the love that you got in a single hand

And they come and they go
In the fullness of time
People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns
Breathing into life
All that’s good in us
To saints become

It can’t be helped
It doesn’t stop me thinking out aloud
I could have done something

They come and they go
They come and they go
And they come and they go
People are like suns
People are like suns
People are like suns
They go out tonight
Set this town alight
All fade into white
