Come the Morning
fall asleep s'deeply,
hit the bottom of a hole
In the morning it will be alright
fingers all in knots,
the poet drinks, his parrot talks
come the morning it'll be alright
surrender the day
n' release the night
'world is getting smaller
th' closer I look
there's plenty I don't understand
there isn't much below me
as the night lights up with the
with th' stars from th' back of yo' hand
y' say I'm lost, that
I don't give a damn
well I say that giving is all I am
and so amidst my youthful search
for the absolutes, I saw
I saw the motley fool's-cap rise
far from th' hailing distance
of heated disputes I
I feel inclined to live my life
without excuse, I
don't compromise
come the morning it'll be alright
surrender the day
and release the night
come the morning it'll be alright
