An early morning melody
Playing in the scenery of my mind
Rainy days and ocean tides
Through the hills and greenwood sides, like a wind chime

I think of you that way a lot
Singing to the coffeepot and the kitchen wall
Always up before the sun, picking out some pretty run
On the strings like a waterfall
Like a waterfall

You've given me so many songs
Ones that kept me going on when I’d wonder why
Weaving through the busy days
They were colors in the misty haze, like rainbow rhymes

Reminding me that even prison walls
Turn to dust and fall before the open sky
And love can find you in the darkest hour
Touch you lightly as a flower on colored wings like a butterfly
Like a butterfly

Thought I’d let you know
I heard you singing soft and low when I woke today
I got up to play along
I found myself with a morning song
To send your way

Thanking you for all the times
You've listened to these sunrise lines I’ve made for you
I see your face before me now
Smiling as if you know somehow
You've touched my day, like the morning dew
Like the morning dew
