Portrait of a Clear Day Lyrics by Julie Byrne

The Greater Wings

2023

[Verse 1]
Beside you, I drank from the pitcher of life
Whisper as not to wake the land
Timeless and wide in the middle of the night
I wanna sing again
[Chorus]
How many times I've watched the sun
Rise and die, you know I've been alone
Sunlight burns on the water, the blues
Fall on you like a word unmade
Never to be the same
[Post-Chorus]
It was slow but for so long
I watched every gain I thought I'd made
Tumble to the ground, hmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
Silence through the rooms of this housе
Hold every answer еver come at the end
Timeless and wide in the middle of the night
Am I just waiting for you all over again?
[Chorus]
How many times I've watched the sun
Rise and die, you know I've been alone
Sunlight burns on the water, the blues
Fall on you like a word unmade
Never going to be the same
[Post-Chorus]
It was slow, true and tried
What we've known, I'll carry that through time
Love affirms the pain of life, mmm
[Outro]
Your love filled me like the summer ground
Passed me like the rising sign
And I get so nostalgic for you sometimes
