Holding The Sun

As I sit and I listen to your breath

Navigating the nighttime sky

I feel the heat from your green cigarette

As you take the last step toward your high

And I'm much obliged for the healing

But you're lookin' kinda tired

So roll it up

Roll it up in my knapsack, baby

And sleep like a child

I'm holding the sunrise down

You're making the night shine

I'm holding the sunrise down

Make it last a lifetime

I didn't think I would see it in your eyes so soon

When we load up with calamity

You're always hitchhiking to the moon

The moon is beautiful, the moon is nice

But when you're ready to listen to some good advice

You roll it up

Roll it up in my shelter, baby

And kick it for a while

I'm holding the sunrise down

You're making the night shine

I'm holding the sunrise down

Make it last a lifetime

So let me know

When you wanna wake up

Baby, light will flow

When you wanna rise

Just let me know

And I'll let the sun go

The only sounds I hear are bubbles from a tiny sea

Havin' a different effect on you than me

Sleep can take you so suddenly

Seems to pass right over me

I watch the clock like a prisoner

Bound by the bars of time

So roll it up

Roll it up in the morning, 'cause

Here comes the sunshine

I'm holding the sunrise down

You're making the night shine

I'm holding the sunrise down

Make it last a lifetime
