Misty Morning - Duane Stephenson

I dreamt we were standing by the banks of the Thames Where the cold grey waters ripple in the misty morning light Held a match to your cigarette, watched the smoke curl in the mist Your eyes, blue as the ocean between us, smiling at me I awoke subcon and alone in a faraway place The Sun fell cold upon my face, the cracks in the ceiling spelt hell Turned to the wall, pulled the sheets around my head Tried to sleep, dream my way back to you again Count the days slowly passing by Step on a plane and fly away I'll see you then as the dawnbirds sing On a cold and misty morning by the Albert bridge

Misty mornin', don't see no sun; I know you're out there somewhere having fun. There is one mystery - yea-ea-eah - I just can't express: To give your more, to receive your less. One of my good friend said, in a reggae riddim, "Don't jump in the water, if you can't swim." The power of philosophy - yea-ea-eah - floats through my head Light like a feather, heavy as lead; Light like a feather, heavy as lead, yeah. See no sun! Oh. Time has come, I want you - I want you to straighten out my tomorrow! Uh. I want - I want - I want you - (tomorrow). Oh, wo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! I want you to straighten out my (tomorrow)! Misty (morning) mornin', don't see no sun; I know you're out there somewhere having fun. Mysteries I just can't express: How can you ever give your more to receive your less? Like my good friend said, in a reggae riddim: "You can't jump - you can't jump in the water, if you can't swim." I want you (I want you) - I want you to straighten out my today - My tomorrow - my-my-my - my - my (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow). On a misty morning, uh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow). Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow) Straighten out my tomorrow - my tomorrow! Need some straightenin' out! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow) Mist! Mm. (I want) Mist! (you to straighten out my tomorrow) Misty! Oh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
