Morning Words
Wandering Hearts: Zachary Lucky's Musical Journey Across the Plains
Lyrics
I've been all across
I have traveled extensively.
The great plains and more
Specifically, I've been to the vast flatlands and beyond.
Well I've been from the east to the westerly shores
My travels have taken me from the eastern to the western shores.
And I've seen all there is
I have witnessed everything there is for these eyes to see.
For these poor eyes to see
Referring to personal experiences and observations.
Now I'm painting a picture just for you and me
Now, I am creating a mental image or story for both of us.
So darlin' don't say
Addressing a loved one affectionately.
How will you find
Don't question how I will achieve or accomplish something.
My morning words come the morning time
My meaningful or heartfelt words will come in the morning.
And as for you and me
Regarding the relationship between the speaker and the loved one.
You know I'd rather stay
Expressing a desire to stay, but the speaker is a working man.
But honey I'm working man, didn't plan it out this way
The current situation was not planned this way.
Just five more nights of shows
Just a few more nights of performances in old, dusty bars.
In dusty old bar rooms
Describing the setting of the speaker's performances.
And once I'm done my ramblin' I'll be coming home to you
After the journey, the speaker will return home to the loved one.
So darlin' don't say
Reiteration of not questioning how the words will come.
How will you find
Emphasizing the timing of the meaningful words in the morning.
My morning words come the morning time
Repetition for emphasis on the timing of the morning words.
So darlin' don't say
Reassurance not to question how the words will come.
How will you find
Emphasis on the assurance of the morning timing of the words.
My morning words come the morning time
Repeating the reassurance about the timing of the morning words.
I've been all across
Recalling the extensive travels across different landscapes.
The great plains and more
Specifically mentioning the great plains and more.
Well I've been from the east to the westerly shores
Reflecting on the journey from east to west.
I'm coming back around
Expressing a return, coming back around.
Coming back to your door
Returning to the loved one's door.
And I'll be painting no pictures I'll be singin' no more
No more creating mental images or singing, indicating a return to stability.
I'll be painting no pictures I'll be singin' no more
Repetition to emphasize the end of creating images and singing.
I'll be painting no pictures I'll be singin' no more
Further emphasis on no more creating images or singing.
