You Won't Be Here In The Morning
Shadows in the moonlight?
Mist in the air?
A hawk high in the treetops?
Don't let them scare you
No, Night, you don't frighten me
You're dark and grey
But you won't be here in the morning
Or one whole day
Cry, Wind, try to frighten me
Cry good and strong
But you won't be here in the morning
So I won't cry alone
Full moon glowing a ghostly shade,
Smile away, soon you'll fade
I look up at the morning star,
Wondering where you are
Sleep, child
Sleep now quietly
Be calm and still
The mist may rise,
The hawk may cry,
As shadows haunt my lullabye
But they won't be here in the morning
I will...
So, Night, why you frighten me is hard to say
Perhaps, because as nights go on
I think how long my man's been gone
But you won't be here in the morning
He may...
