early in the morning, i'll come calling

early in the morning

i'll come calling

i'll come calling after you

darling if you answer

oh we'll wander

down the garden where it's cool

later we'd discover

all in covers

children silent as the stars

early in the morning

in the morning

everything at once is ours

early in the morning

i'll come calling

i'll come calling after you

though you seldom answer

still i wonder

what will pass here when you do

delicate in grasses

bright and ashen

breathing sweet a ruby nest

early in the morning

in the morning

withered

singing we will rest

early in the morning

in the morning

i will call for you

even though the words aren't clear

and even if my voice seems cruel

early in the morning

in the morning

red and almost true

dressing in my finest suit

my cleanest shoes

making sure the crease is true

pressed and fresh and blue.
