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
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
Where we go
So I think till all the walls fall,
