David Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I just can′t keep it another night
Don't confuse I′m not your savior
No one can save you from the devil's arms
In the morning you will pay for what you've done
Your hell is calling now will take you with my gun
In the morning you will pay for what you′ve done
What have you done?
What have you done?
Oh dear friend I heard the screaming
When I saw you running from the sea
To x-pass before they found her
Under water by the willow tree
In the morning you will pay for what you've done
Your hell is calling now will take you with my gun
In the morning you will pay for what you′ve done
Oh what you've done
What have you done?
What have you done?
Oh dear friend there′s no point in hiding
You know I'll find you in the end
Friend don′t fear you can hear the silence
Your day of judgement is coming on
David Lawrence's song "In the Morning" tells the story of a friend who knows the secret of another friend, but cannot keep it any longer. The singer warns their friend that they are not their savior and that no one can save them from the devil's arms. The ominous tone of the song suggests that the friend has committed a grave offense and will face consequences for their actions.
The friend narrates the story of how they heard the screaming and saw their friend rushing from the sea. They know that their friend had to x-pass the area before the authorities found a woman's body under the willow tree. The lyrics imply that the friend is responsible for the woman's death or disappearance, and the singer is aware of their horrible deed.
The chorus of the song warns the friend that they will pay for what they have done, and their hell is calling. Although the singer empathizes with their friend's situation, they also know that their friend must pay for their actions. The song ends with the singer reassuring their friend that there is no point in hiding, and they will find them, and the day of judgment is coming soon.

Oh dear friend I heard the screaming
I heard cries of agony
When I saw you running from the sea
I saw you fleeing from the ocean
To x-pass before they found her
To avoid being discovered by authorities
Under water by the willow tree
She was found submerged under a willow tree
Oh dear friend there’s no point in hiding
It is pointless to run and hide
You know I'll find you in the end
I will eventually locate you
Friend don’t fear you can hear the silence
Do not be scared, listen to the peacefulness
Your day of judgement is coming on
Your punishment day has arrived
