Sometimes the Sun Sets in the East by Emily Merrell Lyrics

Sometimes the sun sets in the east
Sometimes a fish may build his home in a tree
Sometimes you’ll find that you’ve grown younger each spring
Sometimes the sun sets in the east

Sometimes a rose may bloom in the snow
Sometimes a touch can turn a stone into gold
Sometimes a river just can’t seem to flow downstream
Sometimes the sun sets in the east

And days may come when you wonder if you’re dreaming while you wake
And other days you fear the pain may cause your heart to break
But both days come, and both days go, and every morning is new

So on the days when the sunset burns in the east
And when I chance upon a fish whose home is built in a tree
Why shouldn’t I believe that you will come to me?
If sometimes the sun sets in the east
