Sunrise, No Signal

8 power out
Phone dead
Still the window turn gold
Sunrise, no signal

Elevator dark so I took the stairs
Six flights up with the cold night air
Your last seen time stayed frozen downstairs
I carried no charger and nobody's prayers
Mrs Green from five at basil in her hand
Said morning came early like she'd always planned
She held the roof door, I stepped into blue
Waiting for the quiet to sound like you

No tower bars, no little blue light
Just day finding every roof

Sunrise, no signal
Surrounding me, no bars on the roof
Still day carrying me
I thought love ended with your last
Sunrise, no signal
The sky came alive red

Truck backed up toward the corner store
Three small beeps then the driver shut the door
Pigeon they'll pour it on the TV aerial
Some kid drew a smile in the window cereal
Mrs Green broke gazelle, passed me a leaf
Sharp in my fingers, ordinary belief
I watched six windows, I watched six windows
Traded off a flame and never once reached down to search

Sunrise, no signal
Gold surrounded me, no bars on the roof
Still day carried me
I thought love ended with your last goodbye
Sunrise, no signal
The sky came alive

I won't say sunrise fixed it all
Your name may shake me when towers call
I'll charge the phone, I'll feel it too
But for six whole minutes I forgot to look for you
Six minutes isn't freedom yet
It's just the first place freedom step

Sunrise, no signal
Gold surrounded me, carry me
No bars on the roof
Still day carry me
I thought love ended with your last goodbye
Sunrise, no signal
Sky came alive

Six oh four
I taste the basil
Take the stairs back now
