Sun Shine Wishing (A Year of Living Badly)

I just came across a little song I wrote in 1998 - I'd had a bad 18 months...  It's a bit cliche here and there but hey-ho, here it is anyway...!

The wind is winding down now,

It’s been a hell of a year.

I've broken bones and been left alone

And drowning in my tears.

I got a bruised and battered soul

After my baby passed away.

I’d give everything I own

Just to have him back with me, today.

And I would do anything

To get out of these shoes;

To walk a mile as someone lucky

Who doesn’t know the blues

Oh sun shine down on me

And stop life drowning me

My dad just got sent down

For a crime he didn't do.

My uncle died a painful death

Before reaching 42.

My so-called best friend walked away

When I couldn’t be more down.

I'm up to here in debt

And I need some money now.

I've put on so much weight

That I'm worried about my health.

And I've got a bunch of phobias

On top of everything else.

Oh sun shine down on me

(It’s about time that) life stop(ped) drowning me

Oh sun shine down on me

(Please) end my misery

Before the night-time comes

To take me to eternity
