riding the sunrise into the dawn                         riding the sunset into the night


        all the children wake up and let                         hoping to make it into the light

                   out a big yawn                               slipping and sliding from day to


       all worries and fears of the night                                       twilight


                         begone                                  riding the sunset into the night


        riding the sunrise into the dawn

                                                                  riding the sun through to the


         riding the sunrise into the day                                        next day


         i hope and believe it won't lead                          starting over again, the trees


                       me astray                                             start to sway

              the grass to the sky is a                         in the wind of the night, over all


                  green-blue ombre                                            they survey


         riding the sunrise into the day                          from the coastlines of spain to


                                                                               the us of a

         riding the sun through the late


                       afternoon


            when i look down i see the


                        balloon

          a child let go a little too soon


         riding the sun through the late


                       afternoon










                                                                                            rachel phillips
