Lyrics for Sun It Rises as interpreted by obnoxious

Sun It Rises Lyrics
Red squirrel in the morning
Red squirrel in the evening
Red squirrel in the morning
I'm coming to take you home


Sun risin' over my head
In the morning window
Hold me dear into the night
Sun it will rise soon enough

Sun risin', dangling there
Golden infant in the sky

The lyrics are embarrassingly wrong. Please change them.

"Sun risin' over my head
In the morning when I rise
Hold me dear into the night
Sun it will rise soon enough

Sun risin', dangeling there
Golden and fair in the sky"

"Golden infant in the sky" ← definitely a Teletubbies reference.

I've always thought the title was some kind of allusion to Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises". Maybe not.

it's certainly "golden and fair" rather than golden infant, but there is a more glaring error, it's not morning WINDOW, the line is "in the morning WHEN I RISE" - listen close and you can hear the last syllable of rise.

Golden and fair, not golden infant, I'm pretty sure.

I believe this song is based on a poem called "The Sun Rising" written by the sixteenth/seventeenth century metaphysical poet John Donne. In the poem, the narrator speaks directly to the sun, expressing his anger towards its rising. He knows the sun will start the day anew and take him from his lover whom with he lie in bed. The narrator harasses the sun throughout the poem and wonders, "must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?". The narrator's internal conflict with the "motions" of the sun is resolved in the final stanza of the poem when he realizes "thy duties be to warm the world, that's done in warming us". He realizes he cannot reasonably be this enraged with the sun. Fleet Foxes takes this idea and uses a more optimistic approach. He says "hold me dear into the night", or enjoy the precious time they have together, because "the sun will rise soon enough" and tear them apart.

and it's definitely
"Sun it will rise soon enough" and I'd say "golden and fair"

I hear

"Sun risin' over my head
In the morning window
Hold me dear into the night
Sun it will rise soon enough

Sun risin', dangeling there
Golden infant in the sky"
