Strawberry Sunrise warms my bed.
Halo of crimson crowns her head

and I
can smell the new day in her hair,
half in a dream and barely there
...goes the dawn's light through my room.
For so many years it was a tomb

and I
was like a pharoah under ground
dozing in darkness 'til he's found.
Supernova solstice shines its light into my eyes.
rosy-colored glasses shield my mortal eyes from beauty blindness.

Strawberry Sunrise warms my day,
burns all the other stars away

and she
leads me by hand through all the haze.
Kisses awake me from my daze.

Solar winds will lift me off my feet and over the moon.
Red and rowdy roosters sing their tune too soon. The crow and croon
...to the girl who hovers above, radiating red and gold,
sending down showers of love, and her warm embrace makes the other sun seem cold.

Gravitation only grows and grows the closer I get.
It's too soon to sleep - no, I'm not ready yet, strawberry sunset.
