Morning Dew
Kelsey Lu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cold has come around the bend
Into the cracks of old
Wooden cottages within
The callouses of your heart
Are growing harder
Reaching out my hand
Into the darkness of your sorrow
Bring me home
Back to you
Wash off the old
Put on the new
Morning dew
My morning dew
Morning dew
I'm mourning you
Rushed into the feel
Another love another lost
To time not left to heal
Caught in the undertows of passion
Temptations running strong
Into the veins of all that matters
Drowning myself thin
prayin' you'll save me again
Bring me home back to you
Wash off the old
Put on the new
Morning dew
My new morning dew
Morning dew
I'm morning you
The lyrics to Kelsey Lu's song Morning Dew paint a picture of a cold and desolate landscape. The winds are picking up, and the cold has arrived, seeping into the cracks of old wooden cottages. The callouses of your heart are growing harder suggests a feeling of emotional numbness or detachment. The singer is reaching out a hand into the darkness of your sorrow, suggesting a desire to comfort or connect with someone who is struggling.
The chorus of the song introduces the phrase "morning dew" as a metaphor for renewal or cleansing. The singer asks to be brought home, back to you, and to wash off the old and put on the new. The repetition of the phrase "morning dew" reinforces this idea of a fresh start, while the line "I'm mourning you" suggests that the singer is simultaneously mourning a loss or a past version of themselves.
The second verse continues with themes of loss, passion, and temptation. Another love has been rushed into and lost, leaving the singer caught in the undertows of passion. The phrase "drowning myself thin" is particularly visceral, suggesting a self-destructive impulse that is both physical and emotional. The stanza ends with a plea for someone to "save me again," reinforcing the sense of vulnerability and dependence introduced in the first verse.
Overall, Morning Dew is a poignant and introspective song that balances the bleakness of loss and sorrow with the hope of renewal and transformation.

Winds are pickin' up
The wind is getting stronger
The cold has come around the bend
Winter has arrived
Into the cracks of old
Through the gaps in old wooden cottages
Wooden cottages within
Houses made of wood
The callouses of your heart
The hardness of your heart
Are growing harder
Is becoming harder to open to love
Reaching out my hand
I'm trying to help you
Into the darkness of your sorrow
In the midst of your sadness
Bring me home
Bring me back to you
Back to you
To be with you again
Wash off the old
Get rid of the past
Put on the new
Embrace new love and new beginnings
Morning dew
A fresh start
My morning dew
A new beginning for me
I'm mourning you
I'm grieving the loss of our love
Rushed into the feel
Moved too quickly into love
Another love another lost
Another failed relationship
To time not left to heal
There was not enough time to recover
Caught in the undertows of passion
Overwhelmed by intense emotions
Temptations running strong
Strong desire to give in to temptation
Into the veins of all that matters
Taking over everything important
Drowning myself thin
Trying to cope with my pain
Prayin' you'll save me again
Hoping you can help me heal

Bring me home
Back to you
Wash off the old

Morning dew
My morning dew
Morning dew
I'm mourning you
Rushed into the field
And all the love and all the lost
to time not left to heal
Caught in the undertows of passion
Temptations running strong
Into the veins of all that matters
Drown in my blood thin
Praying you'll save me again
Bring me home
Back to you
Wash off the old
Put on the new
Morning dew
My morning dew
Morning dew
I'm mourning you
Bring me home
Back to you
