Hawaii Morning

Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey
Down in the harbor, the ships are on their way
It’s been raining, the green field’s unscorched
The rooster is crowing on the neighbor’s porch

Wake up now with the light of day
Put a shawl and bow take a minute to pray
A childhood’s blessing underneath a shroud
A rainbow is showing through a big old cloud

Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey
From the Rolling Hills to the San Pedro Bay
The cat is meowing he says it’s time for chow
He’s been roaming and moaning to the break of dawn

I get a feeling that my baby waits
I can hear her tapping on the kitchen plates
Coffee’s brewing, newspaper’s on the stoop
Go straight to the funnies and the horoscope

Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey
I’ve been recording singing everyday
Sometimes my voice is broken sometimes it’s really low
Sometimes it takes me a second sometimes it’s really slow

See the hummingbird by the lemon tree
Hovering over it’s elementary
Me and my baby stay local we stay in bed all day
Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey

Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey
Hawaii morning the air is soft and grey
