Morning
Alexandria Lorez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
That we used to go
I went to his house, but
He don't live there anymore
And it's early, early in the a.m
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to jenny lou's
To get something to eat
The waitress looked at me
And said Lorez you sure look beat'
I said it's early, early in the morning
It's still early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, ain't got nothin' but the blues
I had a lot of money
When I started out
But I couldn't find my baby now my money has run out
Still it's early, early, early in the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
The song "Early in the Morning" by Alexandria Lorez is a classic blues tune about heartbreak and loneliness. The singer wakes up early in the morning after a date with her significant other the night before, but she can't get over the fact that he doesn't live in the places they used to go to anymore. The singer goes to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat, but she looks so heartbroken that the waitress notices and offers her sympathy. The singer had a lot of money before her heartbreak, but she couldn't find her baby, and now her money has run out, adding to her woes. Throughout the song, the bluesy guitar riffs and drum beats perfectly complement the melancholy lyrics, making "Early in the Morning" a classic blues tune.

Early in the morning
It is the early hours of the morning
And I can't get right
I am feeling disoriented and disorganized
Had a little date with my baby last night
I went out for a night with my significant other
Now it's early in the morning
It is the early hours of the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
It is still the early hours of the morning
Early in the morning
It is the early hours of the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I feel sad and disappointed with my current situation
I went to all the places
I visited all the places where my significant other and I used to go
That we used to go
The places where we used to go on dates
I went to his house, but
I visited his house, but
He don't live there anymore
My significant other has moved out of his house
And it's early, early in the a.m

I went to a diner called Jenny Lou's
To get something to eat

The waitress looked at me
The waitress noticed me
And said Lorez you sure look beat'

I used to have a lot of wealth
When I started out
At the beginning of our relationship
But I couldn't find my baby now my money has run out
I can no longer find my significant other and I have now also run out of money
Still it's early, early, early in the morning
It is still the early hours of the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
It is still the early hours of the morning
Early in the morning
It is the early hours of the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I feel sad and disappointed with my current situation

I am a jazz nut but have not known her until recently - I can’t get enough .. seriously - I feel like her voice ( and killer band) is like water on a hot day - when you can feel the water cool your insides as it goes down- I didn’t I was missing this but now I don’t how I lived without it :). Her nature boy is off the chain.. thank you for sharing

I've been enjoying this wonderful singer since the late 70's. Still so fresh and unique. At the top of all singers for this singer.

One of my fave Clare Fischer songs! She does a nice rendition! She was the mistress of laidback phrasing. Great band.

Love this. I've heard many fantastic versions of Clare Fischer's "Morning" but this one is new to me. Has anyone got any more tracks from this album as it's long out of print?
Tropical Disco Unit
