about

Largely written while still half asleep.

lyrics

Morning

It’s early in the morning, more precisely 5:03
You can tell ‘cause you can hear a bunch of keys
somebody opening the door
To the grocery store
downstairs

Early in the morning

It’s early in the morning and who really needs a clock
When every day the carts they roll into the stockroom
At exactly 6:04
And an old refrigerator
Switches on ten minutes later

You may say the days are great and I do not disagree
And if you like the night-time, hey, then that’s just fine with me
But tell me honestly, have you never heard or seen
The beauty of the minutes in between

It’s pretty much like flying as it’s written in The Guide
It says ‘don’t panic’ on the cover
And it states that ‘when you’re hovering,
Don’t think about the ground and you will be all right’
Just don’t think about the ground and you will be all right

Drifting high above the clouds there’s not a worry or a doubt
There’s not a single thing around to weigh me down
And so with every little breeze I’m flying
up, then down
With every breeze I’m flying easily
Once up, then down

Just for now I am in control
Ahead of time
‘cause I make everything go very slowly

You may say the days are great and I do not disagree
And if you like the night-time, hey, then that’s just fine with me
But tell me honestly, have you never heard or seen
The beauty of the minutes in between
The beauty of the minutes in between
