Lyrics

In The Morning Light She Goes

I missed you when I awoke to find
Bed sheets pulled back in the morning light
I reached for you, but you had gone

The last traces of warmth crept from the bed
A small hollow left where you’d laid your head
And I felt so dazed as I opened my eyes

Oh she goes
In the morning light she goes
Yeah she goes
Yes she goes

I hauled my weary bones from the bed
Looked around for a skerrick or a thread
That could be strung together
To help me realise

Had I been dreaming too long, too strong
Had I missed that morning kiss when shed gone
Out though the hall to the landing I stood

Oh she goes
In the morning light she goes
Yeah she goes
Yes she goes

Had you explained to me the night before
Of your plans to leave before the dawn
Quietly put on your socks and your shoes and your coat
And head out into the undertow
Head out into the undertow, gone.

And she goes
In the morning light she goes
Yeah she goes
Yes she goes
