Early Morning Blues
Early Morning Reflections: Love, Longing, and Departure
Lyrics
Light strikes the corner with a peculiar sort of shape
Describing the unique play of light in the corner
The world outside is warming
Awareness of the world warming up outside
Birds through the window with their warbling mess of cries
Observing birds outside the window with their noisy cries
Here in early morning
Setting the scene in the early morning
You're lost in dreams
Addressing someone lost in dreams
I've got to go
Expressing the need to leave
Rain rolling slowly as my breath fogs up the glass
Describing rain on the window, likened to breath fogging up glass
Wishing to stay longer
Expressing a desire to stay longer despite the rain
I watch you for a moment with your hair a crazy mess
Observing someone with messy hair during early morning
Here in perfect slumber
Describing a state of perfect slumber
You're lost in dreams
Addressing someone lost in dreams again
I've got to go
Reiterating the need to leave
When I'm tired and my knees are aching bad
Referencing personal fatigue and physical discomfort
You'll be there to kiss 'em
Expressing confidence in receiving care from the person
I'll tell you 'bout my day and you'll let me ramble on and on
Describing a routine of sharing daily experiences
You act like it's your mission
Highlighting the other person's supportive role
You're lost in dreams
Repeating the idea of someone being lost in dreams
I've got to go
Reiterating the necessity to leave
You're lost in dreams
Emphasizing once again that someone is lost in dreams
I've got to go
Reiterating the need to depart
