It’s a New Morning Songtext
von Morton Valence

All my friends
Have flown away with the robins
And the blossom that lined the streets in early May
I think about the good times
The way we used be
When the flames
Were never far from our door
I pay the rent
Feed the kid
I′ve been clean
For the best part of a year
I'm on the outside
I′ve seen the light
And when I wake up in the morning
You'll be sleeping by my side
I've done my time
Throwing stones in the river
With faces I thought I′d never see again
The day used to be long
Where the night could never end


I still dream
Of all the things that might′ve been
I pay the rent
Feed the kid
I've been clean
For the best part of a year
I′m on the outside
I've seen the light
And when I wake up in the morning
You′ll be sleeping by my side
There's ten hundred million
Tiny little shiny city lights
It might all go up in flames again
What was that song we used to sing?
The boat we missed
Lies at the bottom of the sea
I pay the rent
Feed the kid
I′ve been clean
For the best part of a year
I'm on the outside
I've seen the light
And when I wake up in the morning
You′ll be sleeping by my side
When I wake up in the morning
You′ll be sleeping by my side
