The Sun Also Rises - Slaid Cleaves

An old preacher holds on to a Bible

A small child sings «The Water Is Wide»

I stand like stone all alone outside their circle

A faithless man, a fast left hand, and a hole inside

Her golden hair shined like sunlight Sunday morning

A band of gold was never placed on her left hand

Now they tell me that a band of angels

Waits to receive her in some distant land

It’s a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'

On the just as well as the unjust

Yet the sun, you see, it also rises

If it don’t, blame it on a lack of trust

Now the preacher tells me of a promise

Of a heaven, an everlasting love

But his words to me now are of little comfort

As I see her lying there, just the sky above

It’s a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'

On the just as well as the unjust

Yet the sun, you see, it also rises

If it don’t, blame it on a lack of trust

It’s a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'

On the just as well as the unjust

Yet the sun, you see, it also rises

If it don’t, blame it on a lack of trust

If it don’t, just blame it on a lack of trust
