lyrics

‘Til the Sun Rose

Hiding in the shadows, he was waiting for me
Took me by surprise, as I turned to see
I didn’t expect to fall, but I woke to find him catching me
He saved my soul, saved my life thankfully

He was simple, as was I, livin’ life from day to day
Had a dream in mind, just looking for a place
Something missing, could it be a person, place or thing
Oh Murphy smiled at me and I knew that it was him

Chorus:
When we held the time, we traveled thru the night
Chasing a blind man, telling a tale
Of some wanderer who robbed a man with an arrow
We spoke words of wisdom and the night became day
We had all the answers and we rode ‘til the rose
‘til the sun rose

He bought me a drink and we talked about our adventures
He toasted to our soon to come future
He said, “to you”, “no, to you….to us.”, I said
And then we drank a few just to celebrate
He went away that day, promised to return
How can my life be content while that fire still burns?
Once upon a time, he told a fantasy
Oh Murphy smiled at me, then he to leave

Chorus:
When we held the time, we traveled thru the night
Chasing a blind man, telling a tale
Of some wanderer who robbed a man with an arrow
We spoke words of wisdom and the night became day
And we held all the answers and we rode ‘til the rose
‘til the sun rose
Oh, ‘til the sun rose
Oh, ‘til the sun rose
Oh, ‘til the sun rose
