this here is a morning that i regret

not because it's a morning of any particular significance

just because it's a morning, that's all

that will slip into an afternoon

and i'll still be alone by nightfall


i know, i know

light will open up inside me

and spring will come again

the door will open, someone will step inside it

and spring will come again


i swear

i know it's only a matter of loneliness

and loneliness never wins

unless you fight it alone

i swear


the mailman didn't miss me

when i didn't step outside today

the neighbors didn't notice

when i accidentally threw 50 bucs away


i know, i know

i'll force myself up out of bed this morning

make another pot of coffee

and i'll watch the t.v., the telephone won't ring

and spring will come again


i swear

i know it's only a matter of loneliness

and loneliness never wins 

unless you fight it alone
