Morning Again

Morning Again
Words and Music by Tom Paxton

Someone's morning begins
The phone in the next apartment is ringing
The man upstairs in the shower is singing loudly
Someone's morning begins
The shadows on his window are thinning
The picture on his dresser is grinning proudly

[Cho:]
Morning again, the sun is probably shining
Someone is probably finding his way
Morning again, somebody else's day

Someone's morning begins
The sound of his razor is humming and whirring
And somebody under the blankets is stirring and talking
Someone's morning begins
I think I hear him ordering dinner
His steps in the hall are the steps of a winner stalking

[Cho:]

Somebody else is going for glory
Someone else is going far;
I'm drinking my instant coffee
And wondering where you are

Someone's morning begins
And down on the pavement the traffic is roaring
I make more coffee and catch myself pouring one for you
Someone's morning begins
The radio gives me advice with my dishes
I'm tripping myself on the things that I wish I had done for you

[Cho:]
