"Time For The Sun To Rise" lyrics - NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS

Sunrise, why must you go so soon?
Sunrise, you don't soothe me like the moon
Last night as I lie sleeping I had a dream of a place untold
Where you never see people weeping
There's no war or greed for gold
It's a place where love can unfold
But by the time my dream is in drive, it's time for that old sun to rise

Sunrise, always catch me by surprise
Sunrise, on the horizon beneath the sky
I'm always returning to Loveland
It's a name I heard some fella say
It was there I found me a lovin' hand
But each time I just couldn't stay
And that lady I met fades away
By the time I find my prize, it's time for the sun to rise

Sunrise, sunrise

I'm always returning to reality from a place of love and peace
There is one thing for sure that ain't no fantasy
Is the place I want to be
And my girl waits there for me
By the time I find my prize, it's time for the sun to rise

Sunrise, sunrise
