Heart of the Sunrise Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro 00:00-03:40]

[Verse 1]
Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one, on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me?
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise

[Chorus]
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me?
Lost in the city

[Post-Chorus]
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties, they decide

[Verse 2]
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
Lost on a wave that you're dreaming
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise

[Chorus]
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me?
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me?
I feel lost in the city

See Yes Live

Get tickets as low as $69

[Post-Chorus]
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties, they decided

[Instrumental Break 06:53-08:11]

[Bridge]
Straight light moving and removing sharpness of the colour, sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you

[Instrumental Break 08:39-09:30]

[Refrain]
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise

[Chorus]
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me?
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me?
I feel lost in the city

[Instrumental Outro]
