Sunrise and Sedona - original song at House Concert

I wrote the chorus to this sitting on Oak Creek early one morning. In this version, I was playing a house concert in Chicago. The song mentions Chicago.. gets some laughs at the start.

Sunrise & Sedona
Copyright (c) 2008 Matthew Moran

She said it was sunrise and Sedona
That made her lose her mind that way
Caught somewhere between the river and red canyon walls
And she said she didn't need it anyway


Verse1:
She hopped a West bound plane from Chicago
Touched down in the heat of a desert storm
Not quite sure, what she hoped to find
But certain that she couldn't find it back at home

Found sanctuary in the mountains
Walking beside a clear, cold stream
And there she swears, she kissed the face of God
Spent the rest of the week like in a dream
(chorus)




Verse 2:
Left the city an attorney
Now she paints and serves coffee on the street
And never regrets, the race of rats she's left
Or the cold desperation beneath her feet


Her momma thinks she might be crazy
Her sister tried to talk her back today
But when that morning sun spreads gold across the sky
Sanity seems a small price to pay
(chorus)
