In The Morning
Richard Hewson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will see me at the time I love the best
Watching rainbows play on sunlight,
Pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
'tis the morning of my life.
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
In a world that no one understands,
In the morning.
'tis the morning of my life,
In the morning of my life the
Minutes take so long to drift away
Please be patient with your life
It's only morning and you're still to live your day
In the evening I will fly you to the moon
To the top right hand corner of
The ceiling in my room
Where I'll stay until the sun shines
Another day to swing on clothes lines
May I be yawning
It is the morning of my life
It is the morning of my life
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning
The song "In the Morning" by Richard Hewson tells the story of a person’s life, from the beginning to the end of their day. The first stanza sets the scene in the early morning, where the singer is watching the sunrise and the play of light on the water. The use of weather metaphors such as rainbows and cold night give the listener a very sensory experience of the beauty and tranquility the world has to offer. The phrase ‘tis the morning of my life’ is repeated at the end of each stanza, which may suggest that the singer is still young and full of energy, with the day ahead of them.
In the second stanza, the singer is waiting by the ocean floor, building castles in the shifting sands, suggesting that they may be revisiting a childhood memory. They exist in a world that no one seems to understand, possibly referring to feeling misunderstood or out of place. The final line of this stanza presents an interesting theme that continues throughout the song: the idea of time. The singer acknowledges that time moves slowly but asks for patience, acknowledging that there is so much life left to be lived.
The third stanza takes place in the evening, with the singer offering to fly someone to the moon, a metaphorical suggestion for a grand adventure. They take that person to the corner of the ceiling in their room and stay there until the sun shines again, perhaps to escape reality. The final line repeats that it is still the morning of their life, reminding us that they are still young and have their whole life ahead of them.
