Lyrics
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Expressing freedom, no commitments or restrictions.
Not if my love can't bind your heart
Love alone won't force a commitment; it's a personal choice.
And there's no need to take a stand
No need for confrontation or taking a side in the situation.
For it was I who chose to start
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the relationship's beginning.
I see no need to take me home
Expressing independence, no obligation to be taken home.
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Asserting maturity, capable of facing the challenges of a new day.
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Describing oneself as an angel of the morning, a metaphor for a fleeting, comforting presence.
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Requesting a tender farewell gesture before parting.
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Reiterating the self-ascribed angelic role in the morning.
Then slowly turn away
Suggesting a gradual and sorrowful departure.
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
Contemplating a future where external circumstances may affect the relationship.
And it won't matter anyhow
Downplaying the significance of external factors; love remains unchanged.
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Considering societal judgment but accepting it as a consequence of personal desire.
Well, it was what I wanted now
Affirming that the present situation aligns with personal desires.
And if we're victims of the night
Acknowledging potential negative consequences of the night's actions.
I won't be blinded by the light
Commitment to facing reality without being blinded by the truth.
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Reiterating the self-ascribed angelic role in the morning.
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Repeating the desire for a tender farewell gesture.
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Emphasizing the recurring theme of being an angel in the morning.
Then slowly turn away
Repeating the notion of a gradual and sorrowful departure.
I won't beg you to stay with me
Declining to plead for the partner to stay, accepting the reality of separation.
Through the tears of the day, of the years
Acknowledging the emotional challenges but not dwelling on them.
Baby, baby, baby
Repeating a tender address, expressing emotional vulnerability.
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Reiterating the self-ascribed angelic role, a poignant closure to the song.
