Morning
The Browns featuring Jim Ed Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where life began when we were young last night
I feel your back pressed close to me
And hear your steady breathing as you sleep
Then as the first soft glow of dawn moves silver gray
Like paint along the wall
I touch your hand and feel your ring
[Chorus:]
Suddenly, I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there
I know so well that this is all there is
And when we leave this room, it's gone
My mind is clear as we walk down
The crooked little steps to the front door
A ray of sun that ricochets
From off a rooftop light our stumbling way
I touch your hand and feel your ring
And know this night is all we'll ever have
[Chorus x 3]

Here in this room, this narrow room
We are in a small room where our lives started last night
Where life began when we were young last night
Last night was the start of a new chapter in our lives
I feel your back pressed close to me
I sense that you are physically close to me, pressing against my back
And hear your steady breathing as you sleep
I can hear the calm rhythm of your breathing as you rest
Then as the first soft glow of dawn moves silver gray
As the sun begins to rise, the room is bathed in a soft, silver light
Like paint along the wall
The light creates a gentle, painterly effect on the walls
I touch your hand and feel your ring
I reach out and touch your hand, feeling the ring you wear
And know this night is all we'll ever have
I realize that this moment, this night, is all we have together
Suddenly, I look into your sleepy eyes
All of a sudden, I gaze into your tired, half-closed eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
You whisper my name and it lingers in the air, hanging there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
I sense your fingers, almost metaphorically, exploring my thoughts
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there
You jumble up my thoughts, leaving them in a tangled mess
I know so well that this is all there is
I am aware that this moment, this night, is all we have
And when we leave this room, it's gone
Once we step out of this room, this moment will be gone forever
My mind is clear as we walk down
As we walk down the crooked steps, my mind is uncluttered and focused
The crooked little steps to the front door
We are walking down the small, uneven steps to the front door
A ray of sun that ricochets
A beam of sunlight bounces off a nearby rooftop
From off a rooftop light our stumbling way
The light from the rooftop illuminates our uncertain journey
And know this night is all we'll ever have
Once again, I understand that this moment, this night, is all we have
Suddenly, I look into your sleepy eyes
Once more, I gaze into your drowsy, half-closed eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
You say my name and it hangs in the air, suspended
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
I sense your delicate fingers exploring my thoughts once again
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there
You scramble my thoughts, leaving them twisted and tangled
Suddenly, I look into your sleepy eyes
Once more, I gaze into your drowsy, half-closed eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Once again, you say my name and it lingers in the air
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Once more, I feel your fingers exploring my thoughts
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there
Once again, you scramble my thoughts, leaving them knotted and jumbled

That third verse is some amazing writing. Whoever wrote that has been through the wringer
and not come back. Brilliant writing.
