Sorry Is a Sunrise

Lyrics

I've been walking round this morning
With a sentence on my tongue
Three small words I could not offer
All the years since we were young

Now the sky is turning amber
And the night has let me go
What I buried, what I swallowed
Seems a little lighter now

Let it rise, let it rise
Let it find your open eyes

Sorry is a sunrise
Slow and gold and true
Climbing over every wall
That I built round you
Sorry is a sunrise
Warm upon the glass
It doesn't change the yesterday
But it lights the road we pass

You were right and I was proud
Proud's a lonely kind of crown
Now I lay it on the table
Let the morning wear it down

Let it rise, let it rise
Let it find your open eyes

Sorry is a sunrise
Slow and gold and true
Climbing over every wall
That I built round you
Sorry is a sunrise
Warm upon the glass
It doesn't change the yesterday
But it lights the road we pass

Take your time, the light is patient
It will wait beside your door
Every dawn begins in silence
Then the birds begin once more

Sorry is a sunrise
Slow and gold and true
Climbing over every wall
That I built round you
Sorry is a sunrise
Warm upon the glass
It doesn't change the yesterday
But it lights the road we pass

Sorry is a sunrise
Gold and true
