Lyrics

Don't go waiting for the sunrise by David G Buckley

Verse 1:
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

Bridge1:
You dreamt of singing dolphins
You dreamt of making her some tea
You dreamt of breaking silence
And showing the underneath

Chorus
Don't go waiting for the sunrise
It's there before your eyes

Verse 2:
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

Bridge 2:
You dreamt of feeding orphans
You dreamt of finding out her name
You dreamt of painting pictures
Of the beautifully mundane

Chorus

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.
