the rising sun - nicholas payne lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well i woke up on a cold november morning
poured some coffee in my cup
stepped outside to get the paper
in the foggy morning vapor
when a distant sound made me look up

[verse 2]
i searched for that sound all down the alley
but in the fog i could see no one
but looking out to the east
i saw what i desired least

[refrain]
i saw nothing but the rising sun

[verse 3]
there’s lots of folks that have sung about it
sung about the sorrow, sin, and strife
soiled doves and gamblers
unrequited loves and ramblers
have all gone there to spend away their lives

[verse 4]
well i’ve never even been down to new orleans
but i know which house i’ll shun
’cause once you’ve stepped in
your will is run thin
[refrain]
there ain’t no escaping the rising sun

[verse 5]
there’s a way to get up to heaven
but i don’t exactly remember what it is
think there’s a fellow named jesus
who was sent here to lead us
to a promised kingdom that’s all his

[verse 6]
and i hope that one day i’ll get there
i hope that when my time is done
i’ll sing one last song
and i’ll just move along

[refrain]
i’ll leave behind that rising sun
