Lyrics

MORNING

On the bones of whores, I lay in clover
Just to feel a little closer to my soul
As in the distance, great ships pulled over
With their cargoes of sugar, Zoloft, and coal

There’s no morning
There’s no morning
Without you

My heart is calling
Yeah, it’s calling
To you

Butterfly sluiced in petroleum, I flew
Through the glitter of salt water dawns
Waking in the arms of men I thought I knew
Until the sun was swallowed by sandstorms

There’s no morning
There’s no morning
Without you

My heart is calling
Oh, it’s calling
To you

Your face, your name
Hold me and never let go again
Your face, your name
Hold me and never let go again

Hotel window unfolds onto a car park
Night and its diode light intelligence
That cylinder of flames above your heart
Blazing blue and white in vengeance

There’s no morning
There’s no morning
Without you

My heart is calling
Oh, it’s calling
To you

My heart is calling
Oh, it’s calling
To you

My heart is calling
Out to you
