Lyrics

The Sunrise (partial Capo on 2nd for drop E)

D G
When the sun comes up and I’m rushing around,
D A
I sigh and breathe in a new day.
D G
When that train comes and stops at the end of my life,
D A D
I’ll hop on board, wave and I’ll say,

Chorus
G D
The sunrise has warmed the hope in me.
F# G
My temper’s been cooled by the moon.
D A Bm G
The rushing stream has carried off all my cares,
D A D
And the coyotes have sung my tune.

When your eyes first open, Honey, in the morning,
My hands look for refuge and warmth.
It’s my heart full of love and thanksgiving
For the way your smile heals where I’m torn.

Chorus

When the time bell rings and my workday starts,
My mind is overrun with doubt.
But the generous hug from a fatherless child
Reminds me what it’s all about.

Chorus
