Morning Came Down

from Mike & Eileen Chapter One by Mike Roy

/

lyrics

Sept. 3, 2005


morning came down
all around
making a sound
like you never heard
no word could mean what it meant

escaped with my life
me and my wife
clothes on our backs
and weight on our minds
the kind that you can’t carry long

--
but we must carry on
somehow
everything is gone
I don’t know how
to sing this old song
I’ve forgotten how
it goes…
--

sight of the town
on the ground
mud and the blood
flowing down
all of the bones exposed

stone in my hand
piece of the land
how can a man
start over again
with all of the pain that he knows

--

we must carry on
somehow
everything is gone
I don’t know how
to sing this old song
forgotten how
it goes…
