Walking To The Sun

Peter Mayer/Mac McAnally/Vincent Varvel

Every morning lately I wake up and find me gone
Feel a weight on my shoulders and I think of movin’ on
Looked to the sky saw a black wing gull soar for miles on a boundless wind
With no need to understand what carries him

Chorus
Rising up falling down goin’ round in ageless circles
Spotlight upstaging all our wanderings
Chasing dreams and desires
They don’t know their distance from the fire
That shines on everyone
Walking to the sun

Kathy she’s in Mexico found a place in the shifting sand
Where the sea grass strums and the surf is a drum she’s a singer in the band
Still sometimes she’s lonely lazy or crazy or maybe all three
But she’s done with prizefightin’ she’s featherweight and free

Chorus
Rising up Falling down goin’ round in ageless circles
Spotlight upstaging all our wanderings
Slingshot across time
Past imaginary finish lines
It shines on everyone
Walking to the sun

These domino days have come a long long way through cosmic jokes and missed chances
Maybe there’s a grand design that allows for wrong turns and gypsy dances
And we’re on our way home
Home…

Every morning lately I wake up to find me gone

Chorus
