Walk me out in the morning dew
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can’t walk you out in no morning dew
I can’t walk you out in no morning dew at all

Thought i heard a young girl cryin’ mama
Thought i heard a young girl cry today
You never heard no young girl cryin’
You never heard no young girl cry at all

Thought i heard a young boy cryin’ mama
Thought i heard a young boy cry today
You didn’t hear no young boy cryin’ buddy
You never heard no young boy cry at all

Thought i heard a young man cryin’ mama
Thought i heard a young man cry today
You never heard no young man cryin’
You never heard no young man cry at all

Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they’ve been sayin’ all these years is true
Now there is no more morning dew.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Morning Dew by Nazareth. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Morning Dew" means the words set to the music of Morning Dew, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Nazareth. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
