Have you seen the morning light?
It creeps towards the window
In the middle of the night.
Can’t stop the dawn.
You thought you might.
Start right now.
Make things right.
There’s a world out there
you can go and see
But it’s not meant for you,
not meant for me.
Shows itself in its own way.
[Show yourself to me.]
Better stay in bed
until better days.
Come on now Southern Woman
Join me in the present day
You know where I will take you
There won’t be time to pray.
Do you hear the gathering clouds
up against the mountain
dropping moisture they found.
Coming later now.
Winds change course
from the warmth of the ground.
How to renew something so old?
Leave it to chance.
Let our hearts grow cold.
Warmth won’t console us
when our lips turn dry.
Gather your tears
next time that you cry.
