Rising Sun

Hello wind, haven't seen you in years Have you been out on the plains with the others? I've been here, learning some rituals Like how to truly love another Been making mistakes, costing the game But the only way I think To be alone feels like a life of crime But to fear the unknown is an uglier rhyme A little afraid to write this down To have been so loved, a true turtle dove I'm going far, I'm going wide I'm going back to the sunny side There is a house in New Orleans A California bungalow that I've never seen It's painted green, sits on Moss Street And takes me someplace that I've never been The future's not mine to claim Been calling out its name, but think I heard "no way" I'm so tired and a little drunk Just want you to hold me till my time is up Take me to the river Follow the water to the sea This is the land of the rising sun Don't matter what you have done There is a house in New Orleans A California bungalow that I've never seen It's painted green, sits on Moss Street And takes me someplace that I've never been The future's not mine to claim Been calling out its name, but think I heard "no way" I'm so tired and a little drunk Just want you to hold me till my time is up
