Song Lyrics

Early mornin' sunrise come and pull the song from me
So I can turn away and rest my tired eyes
I can't escape the haunting of a lonely melody
It runs around and 'round without a compromise

So where you gonna go, what you gonna do?
You know I can't say no, can't say goodbye to you
I can't stop the flow 'til you've decided to

Song runs like a piper, like a drummer through my brain
The silence all around feels so apart from me
I could sit and cry for all the love and all the pain
That brings itself to mind inside a harmony

The softest mornin' light can't shine as soft as you
The sweetest love in sight can't love me like you do
Swiftest bird in flight can't climb the path to you

And now, it's fully dawn and nightly silence breaks away
Into the distant sounds of cars and factories
Traces linger on and slowly fade into the day
And leave me with these rounds all hummin' back to me

So now, I bid you well, take myself to bed
The tune you had to tell was soft and kindly said
I still feel the swell from all you comforted

Jon Oscar Lisners
