I Give You the Morning - Tom Paxton

Ever again the morning creeps across your shoulders Through the frosted window pane the sun grows bolder Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleepin' I think I'll wake you now and hold you Tell you again the things I've told you Behold I give you the mornin' I give you the day Through the waving curtain wall the sun comes streamin' Far behind your flickering eyelids, you're still dreamin' You're dreaming of the good times, and you're smilin' I think I'll wake you now and hold you Tell you again the things I've told you Behold I give you the mornin' I give you the day Close beneath the window cill the earth is hummin' Like an eager Christmas child, the day is comin' Listen to the morning's song, it's singin' I think I'll wake you now and hold you Tell you again the things I've told you Behold I give you the mornin' I give you the day

Can't you see I'm holding on All these things keep me going I like the way you always make to me Late night walks, the smell of your skin You gave me nothing, but I'll fit in I like the way you always make to me You say you want love, you say you give love I cannot give you anything Send me letters all the time Can't accept we'll be fine and I like the way you always make to me You say you want love, you say you give love I cannot give you anything Uuuuuh You say you want love, you say you give love I cannot give you anything No, no, no I cannot give you anything

Hey, would you dig to be alone? And tell me when will you be back home? And why did you leave me all alone? You blew my mind Fool, listen on to yourself You don't know even when you've been left Tomorrow maybe you'll see the rest I told you so You gotta believe in something If you don't you will be lost You gotta believe in someone No matter the cost Well, hell if I've been had Then Jesus, why's it got to hurt so bad? And when could something come and make me glad to be alive? Look, you got a mind of your own So listen when it says you could be wrong The first time, usually when you hear the song that sets you free Too late you realize that burning bridges behind you Every time you lose insisting on something That perhaps cannot be had You blow it away You gotta believe in something And give it some time You gotta believe in someone Go over the line So love isn't lost so easy And livin' ain't gonna be so cool and breezy Look in my eyes, know that I am speaking freely I give you give blind I give you give blind I give you give blind, oh, yeah I give you give blind Hey, would you dig to be alone? And tell me when will you be back home? And why did you leave me all alone? You blew it away
