When The Sun Comes Up

It’s like my daddy said
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars fade away
In spite of the fact they seem so bright
From a mountain top on a clear night
It’s only because the real light hasn’t come your way

It’s like my daddy said
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars fade away
So keep your eyes open
When you bend your knees to pray
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars will fade away

There I was in Colorado
Moon was in my hand
There she was in Louisiana
Camped out by the quick sand

Didn’t matter what road we took
They all lead to each other
Didn’t matter what things we did without one another

Because it’s like my daddy said
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars fade away
In spite of the fact they seem so bright
From a mountain top on a clear night
It’s only because the real light hasn’t come your way
So keep your eyes open
When you bend your knees to pray
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars will fade away

Here I am in the bright light
Like it always must have been
Even though I tried to put it out
It was glowing deep within
And it’s like my daddy sais
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars fade away
In spite of the fact they seem so bright
From a mountain top on a clear night
Man it’s only because the real light hasn’t come your way
So keep your eyes open when you bend your knees to pray
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars fade away
When the sun comes up, the moon and stars will fade away
