Songtext Morning sounds The Gathering Field

Morning sounds

I was dabbling in the affairs of the heart
Against the backdrop of a broken one
And I was grappling with a promise I'd begun
If only an unspoken one

But in the peaceful pre-dawn, with the outlines getting clearer
I saw a child's reflection in the mirror
I was driving with the windows down
The day had not arrived yet but the morning had
And with the morning came the morning sounds

Chorus:
I could hear the morning sounds
And the mysteries astound me
And the struggle it surrounds me
But it was only peace that found me
When I heard the morning sounds

I was leaving the apartment of some
Ballerina waitress girl I'd met the month before
And I was grieving for the dream she'd started making
And the parts of me I knew I'd never show her

But in the dawn's confusion as the living things awaken
I felt the joyful side of me start shaking
And fatigue gave way to ecstasy
The day had not arrived yet but the morning had
And with the morning came the morning sounds

Chorus

I could hear the morning sounds
Said it was only peace that found me
When I heard the morning sounds

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
