Laura Veirs - Sun Song lyrics

First rays of light are coming through
Been several months since I
Saw that much blue
Water a-rushing in the banks
Freed from the ice it has the

Sun, the sun to thank
It has the sun, the sun to thank

Matches inside your golden hair
Catch all the light I'd fight
To the death I swear
As all the other mothers would, the land

Stalked by winter
Solace in a small warm hand
We've got the sun, the sun to thank
We've got the sun, the sun to thank

Early morning rise unto the east
Shadows fall behind me shining never sleep
'Til that day I'll bask in everything
That you paint the arrows and the wheat

Sun, the sun to thank
We've got the sun, the sun to thank
