Standing on the Rooftop Songtext

von Madeleine Peyroux

Standing on the Rooftop

Standing on the rooftop
Sun is coming up
And all the ones I care for
Are doing fine

I've been running around fields
Making sure things get done
It seems I've never stood up here
To watch the rising of the sun before

I've seen my reflection
Underneath the moon
I've seen all my dreams
Through my tears
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I have counted on my fears
Drawn my lines through the years
But in all the colors of a kiss
I've never seen a morning clear as this before
Your eyes before my skies would???

Standing on the rooftop
Sun is coming up
And all the ones I care for
Are doing fine

Through the windows
I see lovers
And wandering minstrels
That flee the night

Up here a hundred miles from cover
I feel that I can see it all
Within the morning light
