lyrics

UP THEY GET TO MY SUNSET by S. Van Zandt

Chorus:
The sun goes down, down, down, down
Because the earth goes round, round , round
Folks like me across the sea
Up they get to my sunset
I close my eyes to their sunrise

Chorus……

Across the sea, folks like me
Their day begins when my day ends
Day has begun when my day’s done Chorus……

Across the seas people like me
Their rooster crows when my sun sinks low
Their dawn breaks with my night’s embrace Chorus……

People everywhere we all share
This warm sunlight the starlight night
These golden beams and our sweet dreams Chorus……

You and me together we
Take our rest in hopefulness
New day will come to everyone Chorus……

Tag; Sun on the ocean sinks low then it is gone
Nighttime comes softly with darkness and sweet song
Sleep is the palette to paint our dreams on
Hope is a promise for the new light of dawn

We are children of the night
We are children of the sun
We are blessed with the gift of light
In this we are as one

We are children of the sun
We are children of the night
In sleep we peacefully are one
We pray for the new days light

Sun comes up sun goes down
Moon comes up big and round
Nighttime comes a lullaby
Sleep, sleep close your eyes
Dream, dream, close your eyes
Dream, sleep lullaby
