Sunrise Song

There are two different versions of this song:

Version 2010 | Version 2015
Part One: 2010 Version

[Intro]
Mmmmm, mm hmmm hmmm

[Bridge]
You know either way, at the break of day
The sun comes across the waters
I've sitting here, waiting here for you to come
From morning and two full moons gone
Gone by, gone by, gone by

[Verse 1]
Sunrise on the eastside, sunset on the west
I've emptied my pockets and given my best
Toes keep on dipping in waters unknown
And ripples they carry to shore
The cracks in the sidewalk which trace my path home
Leave nothing but starry nights outside alone
The minutes seem longer, the incense burn slower
And photos still on the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Been away for far too long
I said the distance denies, requests and replies
To have you in my arms for another day
Well you may be far and time run slow
But this old clock has freed my soul
And those mixed puzzle pieces finally found their place

[Chorus]
Saying, live on, and rise with the morning sun
I'll pick you up by the railway, 'bout half past noon
Yeah, carry on, smiling to the unknown song
"Singing, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon"

[Verse 2]
Upon closer inspection, I grasp the reflection
In windows and mirrors on the wall
Got nothing but smiles, she's traveled the miles
Till phone calls diminish to none
Now sitting in sand, my sunrise in hand
We're begging and pleading for more
But despite our requests, you must set in the west-
But when morning comes you'll be back again

[Bridge]
You know either way, at the break of day
The sun comes across the waters
I've sitting here, waiting here for you to come
From morning and two full moons gone
Gone by, gone by, gone by

[Pre-Chorus]
Been away for far too long
I said the distance denies, requests and replies
To have you in my arms for another day
Well you may be far and time run slow
But this old clock has freed my soul
And those mixed puzzle pieces finally found their place

[Chorus]
Saying, live on, and rise with the morning sun
I'll pick you up by the railway, 'bout half past noon
Yeah, carry on, smiling to the unknown song
"Singing, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon
Yeah, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon
Yeah, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon
Yeah, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon
Yeah, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon
Yeah, I'm loving that my long awaited sunrise came so soon"

Part Two: 2015 Revised Version

[Verse 1]
Sunrise on the eastside, sunset on the west
I've emptied my pockets and given my best
Toes keep on dipping in waters unknown
And ripples they carry to shore
The cracks in the sidewalk which trace my path home
Leave nothing but starry nights outside alone
The minutes seem longer, the incense burn slower
And photos still on the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you may be far and time run slow
But this old clock has freed our souls
'Cause tomorrow morning, you'll be coming home

[Chorus]
So dream 'til dawn, and rise with the morning sun
I'll pick you up by the railway, at about half past noon
And all along, I'll hold you with my own too arms
And finally our long awaited sunrise will rise for two, yeah

[Verse 2]
Upon closer inspection, I grasp the reflection
In windows and mirrors on the wall
Got nothing but smiles, she's traveled the miles
'Til phone calls diminish to none
Now sitting in sand, my sunrise in hand
We're begging and pleading for more
But despite our requests, you must set in the west
But when morning comes you'll be back again

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you may be far and time run slow
But this old clock has freed our souls
'Cause tomorrow morning, you'll be coming home

[Chorus]
So dream 'til dawn, and rise with the morning sun
I'll pick you up by the railway, at about half past noon
And all along, I'll hold you with my own too arms
And finally our long awaited sunrise will rise for two, yeah

[Bridge]
You know either way, at the break of day
The sun will rise
And I've been waiting here for you to come
And tomorrow you'll arrive

[Chorus]
So dream 'til dawn, and rise with the morning sun
I'll pick you up by the railway, at about half past noon
And all along, I'll hold you with my own too arms
And finally our long awaited sunrise will rise for two, yeah
Finally our long awaited sunrise will rise for two
Yeah, finally our long awaited sunrise will rise for two

[Outro]
Mm hmm
