The Lark In The Morning
Liam Clancy Tommy Makem Family And Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love? No you got it wrong
I ain't asking for forever, but it's been way too long
Please, honey, come with me
All I need is some company
Warm breeze and watercolor sunsets
Windows down, living in the moment
Drink in my hand, swaying to the rhythm
Captivated, exhilarated by this feeling
Look around the party has just begun
Strangers make fast friends in the setting sun
I don't want this night to ever end
Faded into the night
Blurred in the morning
Young, wild, and free
Looking for some trouble just you and me
Side by side chasing good vibrations
There's no time for hollow conversations
Warm breeze and watercolor sunsets
Windows down, living in the moment
Drink in my hand, swaying to the rhythm
Captivated, exhilarated by this feeling
Look around the party has just begun
Strangers make fast friends in the setting sun
I don't want this night to ever end
Faded into the night
Blurred in the morning
Tunnel vision
Sights set, real ambition
Hearts racing
World moving in slow motion
Clarity never felt so close to me
Seeing things I thought I would never see
Here and now may be all we have
Feelings filtered by golden hour laughs
We didn't want this night to end




Fading into the night
Blurred in the morning
