[Verse 1] Ah, ooh Ah, ooh Ah, ooh Ah, ooh The kitchen clock is ticking slow The stove is humming soft and low He sits beside me, tea in hand A silent anchor in this quiet land The city outside holds its breath, it seems Lost in a tangle of forgotten dreams But here inside, the air is still and deep Secrets whispered while the world's asleep [Chorus] Wait for the morning Hold on to the light Wait for the morning Through the longest night [Verse 2] He tells me how the seasons change How faces grow and voices range As we include palms all white and deep While all the world is fast asleep His stories drift, a comforting sound Like ancient rivers flowing underground Of roads less traveled, paths he's known Seeds of wisdom gently sown [Chorus] Wait for the morning Hold on to the light Wait for the morning Through the longest night [Verse 3] The moon is hanging by its thread The weary words have all been said But in the dark we find our way Just waiting for the break of day Each shadow stretches, then recedes Planting hope like tiny seeds A quiet promise, softly made Against the fears that start to fade [Bridge] The kettle clicks, the pipes knock once Your hand finds mine like it knows what’s done No need to talk, no need to run We sit it out till the morning comes The early chill begins to bite But in our corner, all is right A fragile peace, a gentle sway As darkness slowly turns to day [Chorus] Wait for the morning Hold on to the light Wait for the morning Through the longest night The sky turns grey The sky turns blue I'm here with you I'm here with you And as the first light starts to creep A brand new day for us to keep The worries soften, start to ease Carried away on the morning breeze
