Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey.
Please walk me out in the morning dew, sometime.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.
Thought I heard a young man cryin'.
Thought I heard a young man cryin' today.
You did not hear no young man cryin'.
Thought I heard a young girl cryin'.
Thought I heard a young girl cryin'.
You, you did not hear no young girl cryin'.
I'm sorry but you know it is (true)
You did not hear no young man cryin'.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew.
What they've been saying all these god-darn' years has come true,
I knew it would too.
Now there's no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew, at all, oh.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Because, because, because,
What they've been saying all these years has come true,
You know, and only you know,
That there's no more morning dew.
Now, now there is no more morning dew.
People, you know that there's no more morning dew.
Because, because,
What they've been saying all these years has come true,
It had to happen.
You know, that there's no more morning dew.
The song "Morning Dew" is a stunning masterpiece from Jeff Beck that captures a sense of apocalyptic despair and emotional turmoil. The song is a cover of a folk song by Bonnie Dobson and Tim Rose and has been covered several times since.
The lyrics of the song speak to a lover's final farewell as they walk in the morning dew. The couple is unable to walk together in the morning dew, which symbolizes a new beginning, and it is implied that they are no longer together. The singer hears crying but insists that they were imagining it, signifying their feelings of mistrust or paranoia. The repeated refrain of "now there is no more morning dew" gives the song a foreboding feeling, conveying the idea that something has gone terribly wrong. The overall mood of the song feels melancholy and mournful, a sense of impending doom as the world ends.
The song's haunting melody, emotive vocals, and melancholic lyrics make it a timeless classic. The song has been covered by a variety of artists, including Grateful Dead, Nazareth, and Robert Plant. It has been performed in various genres, from folk to rock to heavy metal. Jeff Beck's guitar skills shine in his version of the song, adding to the emotional depth and complexity of the song.

Jeff Beck's amazing on this album, and, 52 years later, he's still relevant, and always changing. The Best!!

NIGEL WILLMOTT
Jeff Beck's guitar & Rod Stewart's vocals compliment perfectly. Sublime. Jeff Beck is the greatest guitarist the UK has ever produced & it's about time he received a knighthood.

There couldn't and wouldn't be a better comment, I totally agree with you bro, and I've listened to countless groups and researched to date, but Rod's voice with Jeff is perfect, the way they blend together, there's no better duo group and band like this one in their time than has existed nor will there be another that surpasses these monsters, and in faces they are also the best, greetings from Peru, long live rock and roll
