Morning Finds a Way

[Intro: one solo six-string Martin acoustic guitar fingerpicking G6 – D/F# – Em7 – Cadd9; light harmonica answers, NO other instruments] [Verse 1] Before the wheels got turning, Before the telephone could ring, I heard a bird behind the screen door Trying out a brand-new thing. A little blue across the hillside, A thread of sunlight on the floor, And the day I thought was ordinary Wasn't ordinary anymore. [Verse 2] There's a cup that's getting warmer And a chair that's getting old; There's a whole wide world of wonder You can't hurry, buy, or hold. I used to race the morning Like the daylight owed me pay, But the sky don't need permission To bring another day. [Chorus] Morning finds a way Through a window full of gray; It lays a little gold on all the things We nearly threw away. You don't have to fix forever, You don't have to know the road; Just let a little daylight in And set down what you hold. Morning finds a way. [Harmonica solo: gentle singing harmonica melody over G6 – D/F# – Em7 – Cadd9, one guitar continues alone] [Verse 3] Somebody down the gravel road Is starting something new; Somebody's learning how to smile After all they've been through. It's enough to take a breath And let the quiet have its say; Hope don't need a marching band, Sometimes it walks this way. [Bridge: guitar fingerpicked softly] If yesterday was heavy, Let the morning take its time. Even mountains wear the shadows Till the sun gets high enough to shine. [Final Chorus] Morning finds a way Through a window full of gray; It lays a little gold on all the things We nearly threw away. One more breath, one more beginning, No big promise I can't make; Just a six-string and a little song For the light that finds its way. [Outro: harmonica answers and soft held G6 guitar arpeggio; natural fade to silence]
