Brother don't you realise The sun shines on its own time? That on the banks of Lochaline It's still light at midnight Some nights I view the ocean trepidatious Then look up at the patience of the ancient sky Oh the sun shines on its own time Over every season every skyline Oh the sun shines on its own time So brother what's the hurry Isn't every life a story? And every man has stumbled By a long dark night been humbled Oh I know it feels like never til you get there But then it just comes flooding out of nowhere Oh the sun shines on its own time You've not been forgotten or left behind Oh the sun shines on its own time
