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 lyrics of Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart's song "Morning Dew" were originally written by Bonnie Dobson and Tim Rose. The song is about the end of the world, and how the singer is saddened that they will not be able to walk out in the morning dew with their loved one anymore. The repetition of the line "now there is no more morning dew" emphasizes the loss and finality of this situation.
The song starts with the singer asking their loved one to walk them out in the morning dew. They use this phrase as a metaphor for spending time together in nature and enjoying the simple things in life. However, their loved one replies that they cannot walk them out in the morning dew, as they have heard someone crying. The singer disputes this, saying that they did not hear anyone crying. The back and forth emphasizes the disconnect between the characters and the finality of their situation. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "what they've been saying all these years has come true" which suggests that the end of the world has finally arrived.
