The Sun Forgets My Name

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I count the mornings like a miser counts his coins

Every sunrise feels borrowed

Stolen from a vault I cannot see

The clock keeps its own counsel

Pre-Chorus

And I have made my peace

With the closing of the door

I have learned to love the light

Knowing what it's for

Chorus

Tomorrow will not come for me

One day the sun forgets my name

Tomorrow will not come for me

So I will burn while I remain

Verse 2

My mother taught me how to fold a life

Neatly into drawers

I am not afraid of endings

Only of the waiting

Pre-Chorus

And I have made my peace

With the quiet in the hall

I have learned to hold the day

Before it learns to fall

Chorus

Tomorrow will not come for me

One day the sun forgets my name

Tomorrow will not come for me

So I will burn while I remain

Bridge

Hold me like a candle holds its flame

Hold me like a promise holds its pain

I am not running from the dark

I am dancing with the clock

Dancing with the clock

Breakdown

No more

No more

No more tomorrow

No more

No more

No more tomorrow

Chorus

Tomorrow will not come for me

One day the sun forgets my name

Tomorrow will not come for me

So I will burn while I remain

So I will burn while I remain

While I remain

While I remain
