an excerpt from the words by neil hannon of the divine comedy in sunrise:
from the corner of my eye
a hint of blue in the black sky
a ray of hope, a beam of light
an end to thirty years of night
the church-bells ring, the children sing
what is this strange and beautiful thing
it’s the sunrise
can you see the sunrise?
i can see the sunrise

although the lyrics are contextually about his upbringing in northern ireland, the exhilarating moments of how he and i felt at both times however, were sheer bliss nonetheless. cherating beach, april 2011.
