Good Morning
John Berkhout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flocks are ready to graze and so is the grass
Good old Sheppard three months white beard
Sings delightful melodies along his way
Listen to the sound of singing birds
This is the sound of our summer time
Sun hits the mirror and turns the light on
Sunshine through the window brings the warmth back to my room
Seeds are growing and cherries too
Flocks are ready to graze and so is the grass
All the Robins above my head
They sing old melody songs
old melody songs
This is the sound of our summer time
When the doors can't keep all in the dark
Sun hits the mirror and turns the light on
Sunshine through the window brings the warmth back to my room
Midnight spiders hunt the bees
Curse of my past may have no cure yet
Hopes and desires in my dreams
Colours and lights inside my memories
The lyrics to John Berkhout's song Good Morning begin with an ode to the weather and the upcoming day - warmth and windy weather are predicted, flocks are ready to graze, and the grass is primed for fresh growth. The focus then shifts to the good old Shepard, complete with a white beard and a penchant for singing delightful melodies as he goes about his day. The lyrics then turn to the sounds of summer - the warbling of birds and the feeling of light and warmth filling a room as the sunshine enters through the window.
The second verse continues with the theme of growth and renewal - seeds are growing and cherries are sprouting, while the robins above the singer's head sing old melody songs, bringing reminders of summers past. The verse then returns to the sunshine filling a room, adding a feeling of welcome and comfort.
