THE SUN GOES ON RISING
Words and music by Sarah McQuaid & Gerry O’Beirne
Recorded on The Plum Tree and The Rose (2012), The St Buryan Sessions (2021)
I hear the wolf at the door
I’ve seen his face before
He’s hungry and I’m tired
Can’t keep him out much more
Through a chink in the blind
I watch him pace a line
Better step back from the window
He’s only biding his time
Spring follows winter
Sun follows shower
Things will get better
If only I can hold that wolf at bay
Drive him away
Cos the sun goes on rising every day
I’m keeping the faith
I’m still in the race
I’m marking down the time
Till I can get to a better place
Spring follows winter
Sun follows shower
Things will get better
If only I can hold that wolf at bay
Drive him away
Cos the sun goes on rising every day
Seagulls fly in cloudy skies
Morning comes and amber turns to grey
Cos the sun goes on rising every day
And the time will come when I don’t feel this way
Seagulls fly in cloudy skies
Morning comes and amber turns to grey
The sun goes on rising every day
