Name: in the morning
Duration: P00H01M54S
Description: I wrote this song after taking the photo that is now the cover art for this track. Though not exactly an impressive photo, there was something sweet to me about that morning dove. There was something sweet about the morning as well. I only had three strings on my guitar at the time, the bottom three were buzzy and/or broken, but I made do. I hope you enjoy :)

lyrics

In the morning, in the morning
your eyes are open
the morning dove sings
and the geese are hopin
to find a place to rest their weary wings
oh the morning with you is my favorite thing

take a drink, take a walk
wake up with the sun
you shine so much brighter than that light for everyone
and if only they knew that love that you show
like me there'd be no place
they would rather go

in the morning, in the morning
you kiss me on my cheek
fall out of bed as she sings from her beak
and we'll watch the morning dove
again and again
in love with the morning and all of my friends
