Ancient Sunrise Songtext
von Peter Case

Where the cuckoos were hollerin′ in the juniper trees
We stole wild honey, got chased by the bees
Took the shortcut, never got home
Opened my eyes, I was alone
I saw you there, just you and me

In that ancient sunrise

Where the shadows were deep
You could smell it might rain
I heard the whistle wailin' from that passin′ freight train
At the all-night station we were siphoning fuel
As that big red bar bounced up by the school
Just you and me, you and me

In that ancient sunrise


Oh, in that ancient sunrise
Ancient sunrise when the whole world began
For a five-letter woman, four-letter man
Couple of children caught by surprise
Some good things can happen if you
At first you get wise
That ancient sunrise

Well, there was a guy out to get me
Oh, he looked like a man
Well, he said I'd been kissin' on his girlfriend Luann
We laughed and took off to the shadows of night
And left him there standin′ in that cold streak of light
Just you and me, oh, you and me

In that ancient sunrise
That ancient sunrise
Oh, just you and me
Oh, in that ancient sunrise
