lyrics

Morning Song

Morning is magic when all else is quiet
But birds in the sky full of song out of habit
The perfume of blossom and dew in the grass
Perfume of blossom and dew in the grass
Woken by song and a light from the east
In cutting the grey sky, firing the trees
For a moment though only twixt sky and the fields
A moment though only, the morning at peace

Now is the time to rise out of bed
Steel down the stairs and take the first bread
Before others waken, just you with youself
In a world full of millions, just you with yourself
In ten minutes or more, some other will waken
Join in the morning, the magic is broken
The sky is now grey, there’s a rain in the air
A wind in the trees and a rain in the air

The day will proceed, as all other days
With patterns established with passing of years
Before very long you will yawn and will sigh
Remember your warm bed, ask yourself - why?
Some spirit awoke you this early May day
Gently caressed you, took you away
From idle slumber, from winter’s breath
Gave you a new day with kindness and stealth

Remember the sky, remember the birds
Feel in your bones the rhythm that first
Took a hold on your soul and showed you the world
That was yours for a moment, that was your world
