Strange imaginations, children hide your secrets well
is it not temptation, makes you kiss, makes you tell?
there's a traveller on the airwaves and he's pleading for my heart
light up the candles, i'm still in the dark

hurry operator, get redemption on the line
pull back the curtains, i think i recognize those eyes
if love is so criminal, then my penance due
'cause i'm still holding onto letters written straight to you

oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
i need to tell you, father sun, father sun
now you know that you are the only one
oh, please, forgive me, father sun, father sun

i swore i needed you in the back of my mind
laid the beads upon the table, right beside the wine
it seems that we say forever but forever's just a word
"and i will be coming back for you" is all i heard

oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
i need to tell you, father sun, father sun
now you know that you are the only one
oh, please, forgive me, father sun, father sun
please don't forget me, father sun, father sun

i think i hear him whispering
"put you hand in mine and you won't feel a thing"

oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
i need to tell you, father sun, father sun
now you know that you are the only one
oh, please, forgive me, father sun, father sun
