Morning Glory
John Foxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wherever you go
Birds sing
Bells ring
And every shiny, tiny, tender thing brings us laughing down the lanes
And I will spin down into your arms again
Deep, deep in your arms again
Oh, we raise our hands to the rainy stars
The warm and warming morning light
That's my delight
In this season
For no reason
And...
I will find you
Sunrise right behind you
And I will walk you home again
In this season
For no reason
And the river is on your right hand
And the river is on my left hand
And the trees and the leaves throw moving shadows down the hallway
And you're standing there so lovely
In your morning doorway
Standing oh so lovely
In your morning glory
In your morning glory
And the last thing you say is...
I will find you
Step right up beside you
And we will waltz and waltz away
You waltz away
Oh, we waltz away
Waltz away
Waltz away
Waltz away
Oh, waltz away
In this season
For no reason
And we step out by the railway station
Truly out on the town
We're all so lost and found
All so lost and found
We're all lost and found
And God bless every blue, blue moon
And every boy in his Sunday best
And every girl in every summer dress
Wrapped in wonder, wrapped in wonder
I'm so glad I'm glowing, going
Glowing, going, glowing, going under
In this season
For no reason
And...
I will find you
Walk right up beside you
And we will waltz
We'll waltz away
We'll waltz away
We'll waltz away
In your morning glory
In your morning glory
In your morning glory
Waltz away
Waltz away
Waltz away
Waltz away
In your morning glory
In your morning glory
We'll waltz away
We'll waltz away
We'll waltz away
We'll waltz away
In your morning glory
