Sunrise Song

Either way, at the break of day

The sun comes across the waters

And I'm sitting here, I'm waiting here

For a morning and two full moons gone…

Gone by, gone by, gone, by

Sunrise on the eastside, sunset on the west

I've emptied my pockets and given my best

My toes keep on dipping in waters unknown

And ripples they carry to shore

The cracks in the sidewalk which trace my path home

Leave nothing but starry nights outside alone

The minutes seem longer, the incense burn slower

And photos still on the wall

Been away… for far too long

Distance denies requests and replies to have you in my arms for another day

Chorus:

Well you may be far and time run slow

But this old clock has freed my soul

And those mixed puzzle pieces have finally found their place,

Saying, live on, and rise with the morning sun,

I'll pick you up by the railway, about half past noon

Yea carry on, smiling to the unknown song,

Singing, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon

Upon closer inspection, I grasp the reflection

In windows and mirrors on the wall

Got nothing but smiles, she's traveled the miles

Till phone calls diminish to none

Now sitting in sand, my sunrise in hand

We're begging and pleading for more

But despite our requests, you must set in the west-

But when morning comes you'll be back again.

Well either way, at the break of day,

The sun comes across the waters

I'm sitting here, I'm waiting here

For a morning and two full moons gone…

Gone by, gone by, gone by

Been away… for far too long

Distance denies requests and replies to have you in my arms for another day

Chorus:

Well you may be far and time run slow

But this old clock has freed my soul

And those mixed puzzle pieces have finally found their place,

Saying, live on, rise with the morning sun,

I'll pick you up by the railway- about half past noon

Yea carry on, smiling to the unknown song-

Singing, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon

Yea I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon (x3)
