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 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

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

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

It's beauty will surround us

And share it's life with everything
