Subject: Lyr Add: SWITCH OUT THE SUN (Bread Love and Dreams
Here's my transcription from the recording at YouTube:


SWITCH OUT THE SUN
As sung by Bread, Love and Dreams

CHORUS: Switch out the sun; pull down the blind.
I'm all hung over and I need peace of mind.
There's thunder in my head and the sky is turnin' black.
Last night I hit the bottle and today—it hit me back.

1. I went with my friends to show me a good time.
I drank some whiskey and then I drank some wine.
I had troubles before, but way beyond a doubt,
I've twice as much this mornin' as when I started out.

2. I drank to forget; I can't remember what.
I parted with my money without the slightest thought.
I must have been a fool to try an' lose myself that way.
The only thing I've left to show you is in my head today.

3. The lights all flashed before me as I came to the street.
Suspended by a moonbeam, I balanced on my feet.
I heard myself sing out of tune a strange and distant sound,
And my feet walked on without me and left me on the ground.
