An early morning melody Playing in the scenery of my mind Rainy days and ocean tides, Through the hills and greenwood sides, like a wind chime.
I think of you that way a lot, Singing to the coffeepot and the kitchen wall Always up before the sun, picking out some pretty run, On the strings like a waterfall, Like a waterfall.
You've given me so many songs, Ones that kept me going on when I’d wonder why Weaving through the busy days, They were colors in the misty haze, like rainbow rhymes.
Reminding me that even prison walls Turn to dust and fall before the open sky. And love can find you in the darkest hour, Touch you lightly as a flower on colored wings Like a butterfly, like a butterfly.
Thought I’d let you know I heard you singing soft and low When I woke today I got up to play along, Found myself with a morning song To send your way.
Thanking you for all the times You've listened to these sunrise lines I’ve made for you I see your face before me now, Smiling as if you know somehow, You've touched my day Like the morning dew, Like the morning dew.
