Lyrics The Matches

The Matches

Wake The Sun

Every dawn gets its day like

Every frown gets her way like

Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on

Every backward blackbird

Standing out through the rafters

So sure he can meet her

Thinks he bears a tone

So wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train

Man dragging a sheep skin

Preaching reeking of weekend

To the siren speaking tongues of kingdom come

Every dawn gets its day like

Every gal gets her way like

Every step that I lay down brings me where I'm from

To lay down, lay down, to lay my cross

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train

Oh oh, ohhh

Oh oh, ohhh that train

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train

Who hired the walls of the station

To arrest my imagination

Profit from my place under the callous thumb

Every dawn gets its day like

Man, they blindly parade like

Every step that we weigh down plays out like a drum

To wake up, shake up, to wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train
