Story Behind The Song
This is a song, I just found and resurrected from the late 60's. I wrote it when i was sitting on op of a very tall high and watching the sunrise and my little town wake-up and light-up.
It has a longer intro which the SONG POLICE these days don't understand because they weren't born during the Golden Age of SONGWRITING and things were more free-form qnd no structured... This is also is almost semi poetry....

Moonsets
Sunrise
The 7:10 to Topeka sings of the rise
As the town takes time to light
The rays are strong
They will find you
Alone, cold, stoned at sunrise
Silhouettes fall from east-to west
Birds spring fly
From nest to nest
Today has started
The early rays yellow by pale skin
Living's a state that I'm in
But, so is Kansas
The sun rises everywhere
Even at night
Tell the children that they must sleep
So that other children can play
The sun's just come up
It's a new day
The sun's just come up
It's a new day
