In the morning sun’s golden warmth
Pours its arms around we two
Past my doorway were those heartbeats
Or a drummer and his drum

No more sleepin’ left in me
I thought that I hear footsteps
But they fade away
Got to stand up and face the day
‘Cause people should be laughin’
Ev’ry chance they get

Morning blue
Puts an end to all my dreaming
Morning blue
Still comes around and brings me down

Now the morning bright blue cold
Pours its arms around me alone
After waking was I dreaming
Or a killer and her love

Morning blue
Puts an end to all my dreaming
Morning blue
Still comes around and brings me down

Morning blue
Is that a voice that I keep hearing
Or empty dreams
That she’ll return with gentle hands to wake me
When it’s over,
When it’s over.
