The Morning
Renewal at Dawn: Thomas Austin's Melodic Reflection on Patience and Transformation
Lyrics
Well, I sat on the grass
Reflecting on sitting on the grass, observing time passing.
As it hurried away
Describing time moving swiftly.
Calling out for the earth to be patient
Expressing a desire for patience from the earth.
And the blue turned to gold
Depicting a transition from blue to gold, possibly symbolizing change.
And the gold turned to gray
Describing further transformations, from gold to gray.
Til the last of the evening was fading
Observing the fading of the evening.
And I'm falling asleep
Expressing a state of falling asleep.
But I'm dying to wake
Desiring to wake up despite the impending sleep.
And I'm longing to feel something true again
Longing for an authentic experience.
But to sit at your side
Stating the act of sitting by someone's side involves learning to wait.
Is to learn how to wait
Connecting waiting to sitting beside someone.
Cuz in the morning, I'm gonna be new again
Anticipating renewal in the morning.
Well, her light isn't gone
Asserting that a person's light persists but is distant.
It's just further away
Describing the light as taking away meaning from the earth.
And it's robbing the earth of its meaning
Commenting on the impact of the person's memory.
It was her memory first
Comparing the memory's fading to the end of a day.
Like the end of a day
Linking the memory fade with the evening.
Fading out with the break of the evening
And she's falling asleep
Repeating the theme of falling asleep.
But she's dying to wake
Expressing a desire to wake up despite the inclination to sleep.
And she's longing to feel something true again
Longing for a genuine emotional experience.
But to sit at your side
Linking waiting to sitting beside someone.
Is to learn how to wait
Connecting waiting with being in proximity to someone.
Cuz in the morning, she's gonna be new again
Anticipating personal renewal in the morning.
And she's falling asleep
Repeating the theme of falling asleep.
But she's dying to wake
Desiring to wake up despite the inclination to sleep.
And she's longing to feel something true again
Longing for a truthful and genuine experience.
But to sit at your side
Relating waiting to being beside someone.
Is to learn how to wait
Linking waiting with the act of being close to someone.
Cuz in the morning, she's gonna be new again
Anticipating personal renewal in the morning.
In the morning she's gonna be new again
Reiterating the expectation of personal renewal with the coming morning.
