Morning Time Lyrics

She′s beggin' me to stay but my mind′s already made
Guess I'll try my luck downtown
I'm feenin′ for a drink that′ll lead me to believe
That this bar is all I need
See, I'm too old to dream, still too young to sleep
I′ve grown tired of countin' sleep

I′ll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late, bloodshot eyes
I can't promise you my shape, but I′ll be alright
I'll be back before the bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So darlin′, please don′t wait, I'll be back by the mornin′ time
I'll be back by the mornin′ time

It's half past ten, and I′m grinnin' like a kid
That's playin′ with his fate
The old man in the corner, he′s in pickin' just for quarters
Tellin′ stories that you couldn't fake
From whisky-breathe talkin′ or the crooked-line walkin'
We ain′t leavin' 'til the windows turn gray

I′ll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late, bloodshot eyes
I can′t promise you my shape, but I'll be alright
I′ll be back before the bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So darlin′, please don't wait, I′ll be back by the mornin' time
I'll be back by the mornin′ time
I′ll be back by the mornin' time
