Every day at sunrise, I've got to
Empty my pockets, I've got
Cups of coffee
And these empty sockets
And the dreams I have soaked in the loom
In the air around my bedroom
I think about the rising sun
And the day to come and I wonder
Where you went, where you went
Are you wide awake?
Did you read all the letters that I sent?
Are you fast asleep?
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
Till all the walls fall we'll just keep being strangers
World rearranges
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
In the sunrise is a welcome thing
But I wish it was more welcoming
'Cause this life has such an awful sting
And a price to pay for everything
♪
And every day they say, "Just get away"
They say, "Just get back up"
They say just, "Stand tough you've got to keep it up"
You've got to learn to play rough
You've got to run through a field on a sunlit day
Laugh it off and sleep at night
But I don't care, I just don't care
'Cause if you're not here there's no one to laugh at the jokes we share
Are you fast asleep?
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
Till all the walls fall we'll just keep being strangers
As the world rearranges
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
In the sunrise is a welcome thing
But I wish it was more welcoming
'Cause this life has such an awful sting
And a price to pay for everything
♪
I saw you last night in the cell where I sleep
And your shyness was such a surprise
And you said, "I hold you in me like a secret I keep"
And the truth of that moment defies all that we know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---
Where we go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---
So I think till all the walls fall
I'll just keep getting stranger
World will rearrange her
Into something just as beautiful
I know that I won't know you then
But I see no reason to pretend
'Cause I love you now and I'll love you then
And the sun will shine on everything
Till all the walls fall
We'll just keep being strangers
In the world will rearrange us
Into things we never planned to be
As the sun rises around us
And continues to confound us
Its beauty will surround us
And share its life with everything
