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...
