Good Morning Song*

Listen (First draft)

Its 5 in the morning
And I am the last in this house still awake
Not even the rabbits in the park
Can stay up this late
I guess you are sleeping now and
That’s the way it should be
I hope you are sleeping good and
That you are dreaming of me

I kind of miss you
And I am sorry I have not called you
It is not I don’t want to
Its just not the kind of thing I am used to do
I guess you are sleeping now and
That’s the way it should be
I hope you are sleeping good and
That you are dreaming of me

Soon you will wake up
And get out of bed
And you will go to work
And I will be sleeping instead
If you have a feeling
That something is wrong
I guess you forgot to check in
And listen to your morning song
Good morning song

Have a perfect day
Don’t forget to think of me
Soon I will see you
That’s the way it should be
If you need a good start
If the workday seem to long
Remember to check in
And listen to you morning song
Good morning song

No more bottles of gin*

Listen

No more reasoning over bottles of gin
No more discussing the times we are in
No more dreaming of meeting the right one
No more bragging over the victories we won

You have gone
And will not return to this world
You have gone
That’s the sad way of this world

No more listening to the music you loved
No more kissing the ones you could
No more walking the streets you knew
No more questioning if god is truth

You have gone
And will not return to this world
You have gone
That’s the sad way of this world

No more wondering what the future will bring
No more believing you could do anything
No more worrying over what could go wrong
No more dancing to your favourite song

You have gone
And will not return to this world
You have gone
That’s the sad way of this world

No more reasoning over bottles of gin
No more discussing the times we are in
No more searching for the meaning of life
No more use for day or night

You have gone
And will not return to this world
You have gone
That’s the sad way of this world

I will not call you*

Listen

I will not call you
Although I would like to
I am afraid of what I would say

I will not disturb you
Though you might want me to
I do not know what role to play

I would not know what part to play

Where are you at now
How could I reach you
And who are you today

Where did I go wrong
Or did I always
Could I go any other way

How could I have done it any other way

I had better leave you alone
Than mess things up over the phone
There is do and there is don’t

I will leave you
The space you need
I will write a letter for you to read

I have a speech
For you in my head
But all those words will remain unsaid

I have a letter for you unread

I had better leave you alone
Than mess things up over the phone
There is do and there is don’t

I do not know
What you are going through
I can not tell you what to do

Remember past
Will not disappear
When you need me I will be here

When you call I will be near

I had better leave you alone
Than mess things up over the phone
There is do and there is don’t

What is*

(Pop) Listen

I will walk you to the station
Where the train will take you far away
Before you have reached your destination
I will remember what I forgot to say

Did I tell you that you are a force of nature
That you can turn the whole world upside down
That there is something weird about you
You have made a king out of a clown

What is
A day without you
How can you bend the rules of time

What is
A day without you
You are enough to turn the tide

Did I tell you that you are in possession
Of my life’s remote control
And you fast forward every session
When I am with you I feel like I am on parole

I hear your smile on the telephone
More often than I see it in real life
It’s the sweetest smile I have known
And it cuts through me like a knife

What is
A day without you
How can you bend the rules of time

What is
A day without you
You are enough to turn the tide

What is
A day without you
How can you bend the rules of time

What is
A day without you
You are enough to turn the tide
