The Morning's Open
words and music by Stephen Barling
hush now, the morning's open
polish up the sun
in prayer, a place for hoping
away, the day's begun
alight, my lonely teardrop
a light, our lonely sun
a life alike the morning
away the day's begun
life, that lovely dancer
rolls into my morn
offering up the answer
to all that i have sworn
what now? the morning's open
my thoughts I heard you say
it's well the grift's a'gropin'
do well unto the day
and take amongst forever
your tales of falling dew
the gift you give just holding
and drawing back to you
life, that lovely dancer
crawls into my dawn
offering up the answers
to keep me hanging on
hush now the morning's open
polish up the sun
in prayer, a place for hoping
away, the day's begun
