Where the Morning Door Opens_ver1

Acoustic ballad, fingerpicked nylon-string guitar carrying harmony and bass movement, with sparse acoustic bass and gentle hand-played shaker accents; intimate restrained male vocal, slow 72 BPM, close-miked natural performance, warm room sound, natural reverb, subtle dynamic swells, brief lyrical guitar solo and bare guitar outro

[Intro: Solo nylon-string fingerstyle guitar, slow gentle arpeggios] [Verse A1] Ever since you slipped away The hours have learned to crawl Mornings take their time to break And evenings hardly fall [Verse A2] When I find you again someday Will you forgive me, little one, For crying like a child, for all The tears I couldn't hold? [Bridge B] I hold the leash, it weighs so little now But I carry every step Ten years of mornings that you gave me And I'm not through with them yet [Verse A3] And will you jump onto my chest While I'm still fast asleep, And tug me out of bed once more To walk the morning streets? [Guitar Solo: Short, lyrical nylon-string melody] [Verse A4] Until that day I'll walk our road And turn the corner slow And somewhere in the quiet morning air I'll hear you call me, and I'll know [Outro: Solo nylon-string guitar returns, thinning into silence] [End]
