Morning Light
Wilderado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

One last call and I'm feeling drunk again
Got this old guitar and some skinny cigarettes
Not quite sure just exactly where I am
But tomorrow I'll be home
and it won't matter where I've been

When the sun comes up in the morning
I'll be well on my way home
Darling now's the time to dry your eyes
Cause I'll be holding you in the morning light

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

These days that I've been gone
are the longest that I've seen
From Austin to LA, and everywhere between
Don't you worry baby I'll be coming home again
I'll be walking up your road I'll be holding out my hand

When the sun comes up in the morning
I'll be well on my way home
Darling now's the time to dry your eyes
Cause I'll be holding you in the morning light
I'll be holding on to you in the morning light

Oooooo
Oooooo




Oooooo
Oooooo
