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.

In the morning when the moon is at it's rest,
During the peaceful morning hours when the moon is no longer shining,
You will see me at the time I love the best
I will be present during the time of day that I cherish the most,
Watching rainbows play on sunlight,
Observing the beauty of colorful rainbows reflecting in the sunlight,
Pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
Frozen water pools from the cold night, only melting as the morning sun warms them,
'tis the morning of my life.
This is the early moments of my lifetime journey,
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
During the day, we will reunite just as we have done many times before,
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
I will be patiently waiting for you near the bottom of the vast ocean,
Building castles in the shifting sands
Constructing sand castles in the constantly changing and moving sands,
In a world that no one understands,
In a mysterious and perplexing world that nobody can truly comprehend,
In the morning.
During the bright and early hours of the morning,
'tis the morning of my life,
This season of my existence is just beginning,
In the morning of my life the
During this fresh and youthful period of my life,
Minutes take so long to drift away
Time seems to move sluggishly, causing it to feel like minutes take forever to pass,
Please be patient with your life
Be kind and tolerant towards the pace of your life at the moment,
It's only morning and you're still to live your day
Remember that it is just the beginning of the day, and there is so much more of it left to experience,
In the evening I will fly you to the moon
By sunset, I will take you on a voyage to the moon high above,
To the top right hand corner of
I will lead you to the uppermost right corner of,
The ceiling in my room
My humble abode's ceiling,
Where I'll stay until the sun shines
Where I will reside until the arrival of a new day,
Another day to swing on clothes lines
A fresh opportunity to frolic and play with childlike joy,
May I be yawning
I hope to be tired and sleepy,
It is the morning of my life
This is the start of my lifetime journey,
It is the morning of my life
This is the commencement of my existence,
In the morning
During the early hours of the morning,
In the morning
At the dawn of a new day,
In the morning
During the beginning of my journey,

Things were very different in the 1960's and 70's there was no political correctness were this was made in London at that time the IRA was bombing people in that area but things were simple no internet no play station we played in the streets till sunset went home for dinner and watched some TV ,then off to school again and it was strict with corporal punishment your handwriting was neat and you knew your Math Latin English History and Geography well before 10yr old and everyone had to do PE
