Here and now
I gaze at the hill country canopy
And the mockingbird calls my name
It's coming back to me
The friends, the songs, the lovers
In this place again from where I came
Austin sunrise,
coming
up again
Older now but wiser than that boy back then
Austin sunrise,
right before my eyes Yes,
I had myself a dream come true under
Texas skies
There and then I went west to Eden in the
fast lane
Pick some fruit from that forbidden tree
I wouldn't have missed it for the world Though it was quite insane
But I'm so glad that you're still here for me
Austin sunrise,
the city comes alive And I got a river of memories long as I'm
thirty-five
Austin sunrise,
I know now how time flies
I've got time for another dream under Texas skies
Austin sunrise,
the worker bees rising to get ahead And
all the fine musicians climbing into bed
Austin sunset,
the city comes alive
Some folks hit the hay,
others hit the gyre
Austin sunrise
Austin sunrise Austin sunrise
Austin sunrise
