John Popper - Morning Light lyrics

The thick and smoky night Abounds around us Up to the same old game To tame the aching beast without There's nothing we can't do or take Our appetite astounds us Dawn, the only clock I rock Until I tremble and pa** out And through the morning reverie We slip away and go to sleep But I lay restless and awake Fearful only of the chance I didn't take The comedy, I don't regret But instead forget to mention A thousand times of taste and touch Slightly slated not to be Mean to make a mockery I imply my apt intention The devil in the details wails For one day want of breaking free And through the morning reverie We slip away and go to sleep But I lay restless and awake Fearful only of the chance I didn't take All fires rage with the sun going down The ashes fall by morning Landing safely on the ground All fires rage with the sun going down The ashes fall by morning Landing safely on the ground Make no mistake, I mean to take Every chance that comes my way By every turn, I've left to burn Still another will be sought By that thing that rings the tuning fork For the force of night and day The sun shines as I slumber To earn the evening I have wrought And through the morning reverie We slip away and go to sleep But I lay restless and awake Fearful only of the chance I didn't take And through the morning reverie We slip away, slip away
