The Rising Sun Lyrics by Nicholas Payne

Winter In Morristown

2020

[Verse 1]
\nWell I woke up on a cold November morning
\nPoured some coffee in my cup
\nStepped outside to get the paper
\nIn the foggy morning vapor
\nWhen a distant sound made me look up
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI searched for that sound all down the alley
\nBut in the fog I could see no one
\nBut looking out to the east
\nI saw what I desired least
\n
\n[Refrain]
\nI saw nothing but the rising sun
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nThere's lots of folks that have sung about it
\nSung about the sorrow, sin, and strife
\nSoiled doves and gamblers
\nUnrequited loves and ramblers
\nHave all gone there to spend away their lives
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nWell I've never even been down to New Orleans
\nBut I know which house I'll shun
\n'Cause once you've stepped in
\nYour will is run thin
\n
\n[Refrain]
\nThere ain't no escaping the Rising Sun
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nThere's a way to get up to Heaven
\nBut I don't exactly remember what it is
\nThink there's a fellow named Jesus
\nWho was sent here to lead us
\nTo a promised kingdom that's all His
\n
\n[Verse 6]
\nAnd I hope that one day I'll get there
\nI hope that when my time is done
\nI'll sing one last song
\nAnd I'll just move along
\n
\n[Refrain]
\nI'll leave behind that Rising Sun\n\n
