Every day at sunrise, I've got to Empty my pockets, I've got four 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 As the world rearranges Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green And 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, 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 And 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 () x2 Where we go So I think till all the walls fall, I'll just keep getting stranger The 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 And 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
