Early in the Morning
Willie "Cowboy" Craig and group Lyrics

I know I'm not around much
I am aware that I am not present with you often

But something's telling me
However, I have an intuitive feeling

That now would be a good time to leave
That it might be best to depart at this juncture

They watched you from behind your back
They surreptitiously monitored your actions

It nearly gave you a heart attack, I know
This caused you significant stress and anxiety, I am aware

You're always worried
You constantly feel anxious

But you panic every single night
This anxiety manifests into nightly panic

And it'll never stop until it feels right, I know
This pattern will continue until a sense of safety and comfort is attained, I understand

You're in a hurry
You are in a rush

But I know where you'll be, and I'll keep an eye
However, I am aware of your destination and will keep watch

It's not as much to say goodbye as it is
The act of leaving is not just about the act of saying farewell

To be apart of your life
It signifies being removed from your existence

I know it's not the same as it was before
I acknowledge that our relationship is not the way it once was

But all in a moment's time
Despite this, there is hope that things will improve quickly

Maybe we'll figure it out
Perhaps we will resolve our issues

But what was I to do
Nonetheless, as for my actions in the past

When I had nothing to hold from you
I had no means to provide for you

What was I to prove
There was nothing I could demonstrate

I know I wasn't there for you
I understand that I was not present when you needed me

And it was gone without an explanation
Our relationship dissipated without any clear reason
