Alannah Thornburgh - Jacket In The Sun The Bard Of Stroane Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once it was easy for me
To wear my heart
So innocently
On my sleeve
But 'tis easy to wear
Your heart on your sleeve
When you've left all your clothes
On the floor

[Verse 2]
Ignorant to my nakedness I paraded around
My reflection but a shadow
I was facing on the ground
Or a ripple in the water
No time to compare
To others around me
Be them plain or fair

[Verse 3]
I remember so vividly
The day that fear arrived
Handed down inside a mirror
By a lover afraid of pride
And it fueled like a fire
When the glass hit sunlight
Realising my nakedness
I ran and hid from sight
[Bridge]
Now I carry my fear like a jacket in the sun
Just in case it rains
Oh what a clever burden
Now I carry my fear like a jacket in the sun
Just in case it rains
Oh what a clever burden
Now I carry my fear like a jacket in the sun
Just in case it rains
Oh what a clever burden
And I carry my fear like a jacket in the sun
Just in case it rains
Oh what a clever burden
What a clever burden to bear

[Instrumental outro]
