morning man
I arise to the 5 AM skies
Left over from yesterday
With a moan I reach out for the phone
Its her says, shes on her way
And fifteen minutes later
I hear the elevator
I gave her my apartment key
So she eases in and lies with me
Pay my way with a nine to five day
Shes working a midnight grind
Dressed in white by the dawns eerie light
She reaches my cobwebbed mind
She brews us up some coffee
And pulls the covers off me
I grab her wrist and pull her near
And the night begins to clear
Morning man, doesnt take much to wake me
Just you shake your morning man
Ive been dreaming of how youll wake me
Since this endless night began
So curl up with your early riser
In my eyes you see the plan
Youll catch up on your sleep this evening
And Ill be your morning man
Eight at night in the last of the light
I wander back home again
Time is cheap cause I know shes asleep
And out for the count til ten
And when shes finally wakin
Ill fix some eggs and bacon
Shell say, 'Goodnight, Im late again'
Ill say, 'Goodnight, Ill wait'
Morning man, doesnt take much to wake me
Just you shake your morning man
Ive been dreaming of how youll wake me
Since this endless night began
So curl up with your early riser
In my eyes you see the plan
Youll catch up on your sleep this evening
And Ill be your morning man
