Morningtime: The Actor (To Me)
Words by Micah Tillman
Music by Micah Tillman and Bragdon Wood
v.1
Morningtime, falling down on me
And I just, and I just want it off my eyes are in pain
The skies, scream "The sun's awake!"
And that I, and that I must be too or they'll never shut up
chorus
And now I've got a new day to argue
With everything in my brain that wants to
Keep me away from the life I'm given
Sometimes "I must" is my reason
For getting up
v.2
Morningtime, covered by the rain
And the sun, and the sun stayed in bed but I'm up just the same
The skies, fall or cry depending
On the mood, on the mood that last night's tomorrow has left me with
v.3
Morningtime, is a gift though it feels
Like a kick, like a kick in the shins or right behind the knee
The skies, catch my eye, tap my shoulder and say
There's something, there's Someone higher who I answer to
