Cheap Sunglasses
by Randy Nelsen


I had a pair of  Cheap Sunglasses

So I could have a Little Fun

I used to wear them at Night

To Hide My Eyes 

From the Shadow  

In The Son 

I wore them in the Darkness 

I wore them in the Light 


I wore them in Cold Winter Days

To Block the Fading Light

I had a pair of  Cheap Sunglasses

I took them Off  Today 

Its much Better Living 

In the Son

 Then Hiding from His Rays
