Morning
Van Lyrics

From the window of a train
Observing the world passing by from my train window

The autumn colour
The vibrant hues of the changing season

That reflect upon the open evening sky
The colors of autumn blending with the sunset sky

I'm traveling north
Journeying towards the northern regions

To go and find a lover
Seeking a romantic partner

With a morning star in my heart
Filled with hope and love

Will this only last a season?
Wondering if the love will be temporary

Or is there more than meets the eye?
Questioning if there is deeper meaning or connection

Well, I spend my whole life searching
Devoting my life to finding love

With a promise and a smile
Approaching each potential love with optimism

Was just a lie
Realizing that the promises and smiles were false

A farmer tills his land with ancient wisdom
A farmer cultivates the soil using timeless knowledge

The power of the seed
Recognizing the potential within each seed

The harvest moon
The full moon during the harvest season

And the waiting for the rains
Anticipating the arrival of much-needed rainfall

Can seem a lifetime
The waiting can feel endless

Test your faith when all the rivers
Challenges your belief in a higher power when the rivers

Have run dry
Have ceased to flow

You can drown yourself in wine
Choosing to immerse oneself in intoxication

Of bitter wonder
Full of bitter contemplation

Or search for answers in the sky
Looking to the heavens for guidance

You can drop your guard
Lowering your defenses

And let in all the demons
Allowing negative influences to enter your life

With the beauty of her face
Enticed by the attractiveness of someone's appearance

The sweet disguise
A facade of sweetness and innocence

You return to southern lands
Coming back to the southern regions

Empty handed
Having nothing to show or offer

Where every leaf on every tree
Where every leaf has fallen from the trees

Had fallen down
Lying on the ground

And the wind that blows from all those snow capped mountains
The chilly wind coming from the mountains covered in snow

So frikkin' cold that it grips your
Extremely cold, giving you a tight sense of

Weary soul
Tired and drained spirit

I have a feeling you are waiting
Having an intuition that you are patiently anticipating

At some station far beyond
In a distant location, beyond reach

In a place that knows no saddened boundaries
In a realm without any limitations of sorrow

With a morning star
Carrying a symbol of hope and light

In your heart
Within the depths of your being
