Sun Keeps Risin' is a song dedicated to Lissie’s aunt who passed away from ALS in 2010. Beginning with the sound of a mourning dove over a sparkling synthesizer, the song deals with the loneliness one feels every day after someone close to them has died, although their life moves on without the one...
[Verse 1]
In the quiet hours, when the lights are out
And my mind is free to wander
As the embers burn and the planets turn
We just carry on, I wonder
[Chorus]
How the sun keeps rising anyway
And I still think of you every day
In a better place
That's what they say
[Verse 2]
All those photographs of the life we had
Doesn't seem so long ago
And the children born since you've been gone
I wish you had the chance to know
[Chorus]
But the sun keeps rising anyway
And I still think of you every day
I hope that you're OK
Are you OK?
[Outro]
But the sun keeps rising anyway
You're in a better place
That's what they say
