Morning Dew
Mickey Waller Lyrics
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 "Morning Dew" by Mickey Waller are meaningful and seem to suggest the loss of something that was once blooming, and now it has vanished. The opening lines of the song, "Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey. Please walk me out in the morning dew, sometime" shows someone's desire to experience the beauty of the morning dew. This could represent a romantic longing to bask in the beauty of life or nature.
However, the song takes an unexpected turn with the response, "Can't walk you out in no morning dew. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This line could imply that something has happened that has made experiencing the dew impossible. The following few lines suggest that there may have been cries of mourning or loss, but the singer denies hearing them. The repeated line, "now there is no more morning dew" reinforces that something once cherished and valued is now out of reach.
The song's final lines, "Because what they've been saying all these god-darn' years has come true. You know, and only you know, that there's no more morning dew" suggest that there is no going back to the way things were. Perhaps the singer is referencing a societal or environmental change that has resulted in a loss of beauty and wonder.
Overall, the song's lyrics express a sense of loss and nostalgia for something that was once valuable and beautiful, but is now gone forever.
