Hurry sunrise
I’ve been waiting all night
Endless hours have passed as I lie here and wait for the light
Hurry sunrise
I’ve done all I can do
To forget her sweet song as I wait for the dawn to break through
I’m all right through the day
‘Cause I’m busy with cattle to tend
But the nights are so long
With a heart I don’t know how to mend
The moon and the stars sail silently on through the sky
While my hardened heart and its sorrow keeps whispering by
Hurry sunrise
What’s taking so long?
Every minute’s an hour reliving the moments we’ve known
Each memory’s a crystalline treasure of true love and trust
All come down to this: endless nights and ashes and dust
I’m all right through the day
‘Cause I’m busy with cattle to tend
But the nights are so long
With a heart I don’t know how to mend
The moon and the stars sail silently on through the sky
While my hardened heart and its sorrow keeps whispering by
Hurry sunrise
What’s taking so long?
Every minute’s an hour reliving the moments we’ve known
Each memory’s a crystalline treasure of true love and trust
All come down to this: endless nights and ashes and dust
