Don't Go Waiting for the Sunrise
Deep within the silence that you never unpacked
Sits every truth you feared you couldn't retract
And in this house lies everything that you'll ever own
Including the absence that won't leave you alone
You dreamt of singing dolphins
You dreamt of making her some tea
You dreamt of breaking silence
And showing the underneath
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
It's there before your eyes
The safety that you chose
It hid a danger revealed
And every indecision grew a missing concealed
Mother took her leaving at a quarter to ten
The way that you felt
Could never happen again
You dreamt of feeding orphans
You dreamt of finding out her name
You dreamt of painting pictures
Of the beautifully mundane
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
It's there before your eyes
You dreamt of tigers growling
You dreamt of waking up the sun
You dreamt of singing love songs
To everyone
You dreamt of making phone calls
You dreamt of silences foregone
You dreamt of saying sorry
For the feelings with no sound
Sits every truth you feared you couldn't retract
And in this house lies everything that you'll ever own
Including the absence that won't leave you alone
You dreamt of singing dolphins
You dreamt of making her some tea
You dreamt of breaking silence
And showing the underneath
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
It's there before your eyes
The safety that you chose
It hid a danger revealed
And every indecision grew a missing concealed
Mother took her leaving at a quarter to ten
The way that you felt
Could never happen again
You dreamt of feeding orphans
You dreamt of finding out her name
You dreamt of painting pictures
Of the beautifully mundane
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
(waiting for the sun to rise)
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
It's there before your eyes
You dreamt of tigers growling
You dreamt of waking up the sun
You dreamt of singing love songs
To everyone
You dreamt of making phone calls
You dreamt of silences foregone
You dreamt of saying sorry
For the feelings with no sound
