Browne Jackson Someday Morning Lyrics

Someday Morning Lyrics

As the early morning filters through

 My shuttered window pane

 I look about and realize

 That things are still the same

 

 These flowers in a glass

 Mark the hours that have passed

 As I lay sleeping

 

 And I can hear my footsteps ringing

 Down the empty morning street

 And the concrete that I walk upon

 Is cold beneath my feet

 

 A single winging dove

 Reminds me of the sleeping love

 That I am leaving

 

 'Cause everyone must someday do his own thing

 'Cause everyone must someday do his own thing

 And I have a brand new song to sing

 

 In the morning skies the stars

 Begin to sputter and to fade

 As the night surrenders all its claim

 On shadows it has made

 

 A watchdog's hungry bark

 Is the morning's first remark

 Upon my walking

 

 And everyone must someday do his own thing

 And everyone must someday do his own thing

 And I have a brand new song to sing

 

 And I'm told that if I try

 That I can do most anything

 Well then I would like to sing a song

 And make this morning ring

 

 As the morning turns to day

 Hear the waking city say

 Who is that singing
