[Intro – Wurlitzer] [Verse 1] Morning came without permission Through a crack beneath the blind Found the cup I left unfinished Found the things I left behind Nothing waited for an answer Nothing asked me where I'd been Just the ordinary sunlight Making everything begin [Verse 2] There's a photograph beside me I don't know when it was made Someone laughing by a river Someone standing in the shade For a moment I remember Then I let the picture go Funny how the things we carry Are the things we never know [Chorus] Morning, again Here we are No map in our hands No particular star Morning, again Nothing to explain Open the window Let it in Again [Instrumental – piano / tenor saxophone] [Section II – fragments] [Mechanical Wurlitzer pulse] The clocks are working The trains are running The doors remember Where to go But somewhere Someone Missed a turning And found a place They didn't know [Brief 3/4 passage] One, two, three Turn the key One, two— [Music breaks away] [Instrumental development] [Piano / bass / soprano saxophone] [Gradual build] [Verse 3] I spent years collecting answers Like stones along the shore Every time I filled my pockets I could hardly walk anymore So I left them by the water Every certainty I knew And the river didn't answer It just carried on Right through [Full band] [Final Chorus] Morning, again Here we are A little less certain A little less far Morning, again Nothing left to win Open the window Let it in [Instrumental peak] [Gradually stripping away instruments] [Final Verse – voice / Wurlitzer] Maybe nothing lasts forever Maybe that's what makes it shine Maybe life was never waiting For the moment we'd define And if tomorrow never answers That's all right with me There's a cup upon the table There's sunlight There's you There's me [Long pause] [Outro – Wurlitzer] What a lovely day... [Saxophone enters] ...to begin. [Final saxophone note]
