lyrics

MORNING

Where do I start while breaking in the morning?
I shuffle down the aisle of the morning
And deliver my vows
But I am somehow stalling
To make a commitment to you

Wake with the stars falling in the morning
We laugh until we cry in the morning
There’s screaming aloud as trivial clouds storm in
And I don’t know why it rains
It’s in for the day and we soon retire

Heroic in heart while aching in the morning
I’m waiting for the sky to stop bawling
There’s dreaming abound but nobody comes calling
And I don’t know how to live with pain
Forgetting to love when it rains
But our saving grace
Is what we reclaimed from embers so tired
A glimpse of a flame still on fire

Morning can wake in a veil of surprises
Morning’s afraid of the dark
Morning’s the face with a million disguises
Morning’s a healing of the heart
Morning’s the eyes of a woman looking through her man
Morning’s the child with a dream we confide in
Morning’s forgiveness in your hand

Our vigil of light is fragile come morning
I’m praying for the day that’s in mourning
When I can walk on the water with you
