Gentle Morning Song Lyrics

The patter of breaking glass
invades like gentle rain and a dog
barks somewhere in Gleadless
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
and the night is an endless place
but it ends so sweetly at your face
this bed is made of energy
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
not like when we were young
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
are happy burning cars
and i hear the gentle morning song
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
like a litany recited for me
in the dark aisles of our street
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
the patter of tiny feet could it be
the final straw we've thrown on the back
of the camel of our youth
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
because life is an endless place
or at least it sometimes seems that way
will we die wearing perplexed faces
books of words still left to say
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
not like when we were young
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door
i hear the gentle morning song
like a quiet reflection of my soul
i sang that song back when i was young
and the virgin earth stretched on and on
and i hear the gentle morning song
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
like a litany recited for me
in the dark church of our street
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
