Morning Bird

from Back Home by Tret Fure

from Back Home, track released April 25, 2001
Huddled deep beneath the blankets
Hunkered down against the cold
No one left to keep her warm
No one left to hold
Calling out a name at night
Hoping to be heard
Far across the lonely miles
Sings the morning bird

There’s a candle lit forever
In the smallest, darkest room
Burning strong against the cross
Against the heady gloom
And a place is set forever
At the table of the soul
You can see it through the window
You can feel it through the cold

Chorus:
When the darkness falls upon you
And the pain is too to bear
The heart is bleeding bitter
And cold is everywhere
Just bite in the stars at night
And bold into the day
And remember that the moonlight
Is just sunlight anyway

Driving into town one night
Driving to the WOW
She practiced smiling in the dark
She’d forgotten how
It felt so foreign at the time
But time does move us still
And though it seems impossible
You will your will to will

Chorus:

Striking out upon the road
Struck down on her own
No one there for company
No on left to phone
She’s calling out a name at night
Hoping to be heard
Far across the lonely miles
Sings the morning bird

Chorus:
