What was here now is gone

Em Am B7 Em

Up and down, like everyone

Walked the earth in lonesome cry

But when the sun comes up

When the sun comes up

It will be on your side,

It will be on your side.

To the song of wheels, all demons die

Em Am B7 Em

Rays of joy, they multiply

Em Am D G

Harmony, you will be my bride

But when the sun comes up

I'll let out last breath

And slumber softly into the death

Em Am B7 Em

My half-breed odyssey

Your orphan prophecy

Em Am D G

Our destiny we will not hide

When the sun comes up

I'll let out last breath

Am B7

And slumber softly into the death
