Morning

Morning - Jim Ed Brown

Here in this room this narrow room

Where life began when we were young last night

I feel your back pressed close to me

And hear your steady breathing as you sleep

Then as the first soft glow of dawn moves silver gray

Like paint along the wall

I touch your hand and feel your ring

And know this night is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes

You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there

Then I feel your fingers running through my mind

Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

I know so well that this is all there is

And when we leave this room it's gone

My mind is clear as we walk down

The crooked little steps to the front door

A ray of sun that ricochets

From off a rooftop light our stumbling way

I touch your hand and feel your ring

And know this night is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes

You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there

Then I feel your fingers running through my mind

Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes

You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there

Then I feel your fingers running through my mind

Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes

You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
