Good morning

GOOD MORNING (E A D G B E, capo 1)

Good morning, now what is it? I heard you cry all night.

I guess we got what we asked for. But no one asked for us.

Good morning, where have you been? There’re secrets in your eyes.

I watched the bedroom spinning and filling the holes we dug.

 

At half past five, I saw you go under the bed.

 

Hang on, I can’t remember; have you been fed today?

I thought I heard a whisper. I thought we were alone.

Hang on, who killed this cockroach? And left it on the kitchen floor?

It’s missing one or two legs. It wasn’t here last night.

 

The wind is strong but we’re not scared. The sun is warm enough.

 

Footsteps creak down the hallway. Shadows move in the dark.

Questions answer themselves and dreams rest, nestled in the cracks.

 

Turn off the light because I’m not scared. I’ll see you in the morning.
