David Baerwald In The Morning
Remember what I said
Forget all of that
Just hold out a little bit longer
You said yeah you know
And you promised that you would
Just as soon as you got a little stronger
Well darling you and me
We have always been in trouble
And we ain't going no place but down
And look at how we live
In a pile of broken rubble
Making crazy dying sounds
Well go ahead pretend
That you're your daddy's little girl
For me I'm through pretending
You can come along dry
Or stay here with your bottle
Either way I'm gone
In the morning
In the morning
Gunfire is mixing
With the Spanish music
Which is drifting like smoke
Through my window
And ricochet sounds
Resounding through the valley
And I'm staring like a ghost out my window
This neighborhood of ours
Is really gone down the drain
Or maybe it was always this way
People living like we do
In rooms thick with dust
While the fruit on the trees decays
Go ahead pretend
That you're your daddy's little girl
For me I'm through pretending
You can come along dry
Or stay here with your bottle
Either way I'm gone in the morning
Go ahead baby
Go into bed
Curl around your fog
And forget every dream
You ever had
Go ahead baby
Go into bed
And look at your face in the morning
In the morning
