[Verse 1]
In early hours of morning
Just before the dawning
You see the sun a-risin'
And feel the breeze a-blowin'
And see the trees a-glowin'
And feel the flowers growin'
[Verse 2]
The tower bells will soon chime
For the afternoon time
The whistle will be wailin'
The boat will soon be sailin'
Your thoughts will be a-trailin'
Behind a cab you're hailin'
[Verse 3]
As darker shades of evenin'
Steals the air your breathin'
The factory gates are closin'
There's no one really knowin'
Just whereabouts they're goin'
Or why that whistle's blowin'
[Verse 4]
Midnight is a-peepin'
To see if you lay sleepin'
Your window will be op'nin'
To hear my voice a-singin'
To see my heart a-wingin'
And feel my head a spinin'
