Like fallen leaves, victims of time
Memories of old times, wind blows, they fly
Forgotten promises, someone else's dreams
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't reality

Don't say you're sorry for once treating me so wrong
You sure did hurt me then but the tears, they are long gone
So after all this time when you ask me how I am
Couldn't tell, couldn't say, oh, try to understand

Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart, oh Lord

I was a young boy, I thought love's a friend
I couldn't read between the lines, no, I didn't understand
That reaching out for you was like reaching for the sun
Hurt my eyes, stopped my mind and then burned my heart, Lord

Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart

Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
Ooh, the sun, don't touch the sun

Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart

Don't touch the sun, no, no, don't touch the sun
No, no, the sun, don't touch the sun
No, no, no, no, it'll burn you alive
No, no, no, the sun, don't touch the sun
No, no, no, no
