lyrics

Smiles For The Morning
David Shepherd Grossman ã1989/2001

Drainpipe dripping to the sewer line
Clothes strung out across the alley
X's mark the windows
Sadness as the wind blows
The waitress at my cafe says she's feeling fine

Smiles for the morning

When I met her
I thought it'd be easy to forget her
But then she held on

I used to read the bible with 3-D glasses
Thought maybe then I'd see some light
The priest sent me to hell
My father said, "Oh well, he seems to know his let from his right."
Now there's an inside and an out side and there's beside you

It was out of the city
High up on the hill
There I first noticed stars
The people said they'd seen them
But I never believed them
You can carry that line too far

And she said, "Take me away in the morning
We'll make our way our way.
Take me away in the morning you'll find happiness by mid day
Take me away in the morning heaven ain't reached alone
Take me away in the morning, take me home

When I woke up this morning
There was a smile drawn across my mirror
Ashes will be ashes and dust is so fine
But all can do is  forgive her
Smiles For The Morning
