[Intro: acoustic guitar, morning birds, soft hand drum] Mm… Morning come easy today. [Verse 1] Sun slip through di mango leaf Gold pon concrete by mi feet Kettle start talk before mi do Old cup, black coffee, sky turn blue No taxi horn, no phone ring yet No bill find mi doorstep yet Just breeze come down from Blue Mountain side And fi once, mi got nowhere fi hide [Pre-Chorus] Maybe peace no make no sound Maybe sometime it just come around [Chorus] Mango morning, take your time Sweet little sun through crooked vine World can wait outside mi gate Give mi one hour before it get late Mango morning, stay awhile Haven’t seen myself wear this smile Nothing fixed, nothing new Just morning light and a better view [Verse 2] Amara slipper by di chair One pink ribbon she leave somewhere Crayon sun pon old receipt Big round yellow with crooked feet She say, “Daddy, mango ready yet?” Mi say, “Soon come, give it one day yet” She roll her eye like she know more than me Then climb up close where she supposed to be [Pre-Chorus] Maybe rich no mean much more Than little feet across your floor [Chorus] Mango morning, take your time Sweet little sun through crooked vine World can wait outside mi gate Give mi one hour before it get late Mango morning, stay awhile Haven’t seen myself wear this smile Nothing fixed, nothing new Just morning light and a better view [Bridge: stripped down, guitar and voice] Tree grow sideways through di years House got cracks, mi got mi share Still every season something sweet Drop right down beside mi feet Granny Ivy used to say “Don’t rush blessing out di way” Maybe she right, maybe so Some good things take long fi grow [Final Chorus] Mango morning, take your time Sweet little sun through crooked vine World still waiting outside mi gate But today mi let tomorrow wait Mango morning, stay awhile Amara sleeping with that same small smile Nothing fixed, nothing new Still somehow everything feel true [Outro: guitar, birds, mango dropping onto zinc] thump Mm. One ready now.
