Simple Minds

I tried to write this song
I tried to memorize
Such a long time ago
More than I realize

And are you bitter still
Did we not pay the price once or twice
Try to forgive me now please
Try to forget about all those lies
New sunshine morning
Blackens up my eyes
Takes me in its warmness
And put me to a side
New sunshine morning
Blackens up my eyes
Takes me in its warmness
And put me to a side
Much of the story isn't told
Can you sympathize
Seems like a lifetime ago
You tried to rid my soul
I tried to cheat on life
You tried to kill me so
Only a moment I realize
New sunshine morning
Opens up my day
Carry carry me homeward
Into another place
New sunshine morning
Opens my eyes
Carries carries me onward
Into a new sunrise
New sunshine morning
New sunshine morning
