Morning Sun, Slow Down

Morning sun, slow down
Have you got promises to keep
The dragonfly tapping my window yesterday
Is now down on the [ ] [asleep]

Freight train rattles my coffee cup
[Lake] [ ] reaches for the sky
I drink cold what spills in the [saucer, because]
My papa raised me right

You swim through the mountains
You climb over the sea
Soon you'll reveal everything
But won’t you slow down when you get to me

Morning sun, slow down
Both Sara and I agreed
When we made our bed the moon was good and red
That's all the light we need

I love these skinny trees in silhouette
I think the nervous stars could use a little more time
Everything that comes when you turn the page
Is torn from nights we've left behind

I’ve got some doubts and regrets
I weigh them in the dark sometimes
When it's quiet enough but for the hallway clock
Keeping all of us in line

You swim through the mountains
You climb over the sea
I know you've got to reveal everything
But won't you slow down
Slow down when you get to me

Morning sun, slow down
Morning sun, slow down
Morning sun, slow down
