Tequila Sunrise Lyrics

First light

The desert holds its breath

Colors bleed into the sky

Like a drink left too long

Sweating in the heat

Orange gold red

The colors spill across the glass

Your hands steady

But your eyes tell another story

A sip

Then another

Sweet turns to sharp

The burn is quiet

But it lingers

You said mornings were for leaving

Something about clean slates and cool air

But the sunrise feels heavier now

It drips with promises

Left undone

I see you in the streaks of red

Hear you in the silence of dawn

The tequila's empty

The sunrise isn't

The day rises too fast

Heat creeps in

And shadows shorten

I watch the light spread thin

Fading like the taste on my tongue

The colors pull apart

What was once whole is now

Just sky
