IN THE MORNING LIGHT
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
Well there you stand
A figure at my door
And shadows fall
On those that are no more
And each time I love and take the fall
Then like the sun I rise above it all
In the morning light
In the morning light
Yes now's the time
The time I shed my tears
And now's the time
The time I know my fears
Now's the time
The time I feel the years
But come on in
The wind is on your heels
In the morning light
In the morning light
Let us now lay down the fight
Let us now make all things right
At the closing of the night
In the morning light
In the morning light
In the morning light
My room is small
The curtains are of gold
And down below
The Paris streets are cold
Here in my room I've loved a thousand times
Well, seriously, I've sung a thousand rhymes
In the morning light
In the morning light
Let us now lay down the fight
Let us now make all things right
Standing at the edge of night
In the morning light
In the morning light
In the morning light
