Lucy Kaplansky - Five In The Morning lyrics

rate me

Five in the morning, lying in bed

Listening to the thunderstorm in her head

Looks around the room as she opens her eyes

Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by

She's been sleeping a long time

Quiet now, everyone still asleep

She can feel her heart beating, she can hear herself breathe

Her mother told her to be a dark mystery

But the darkness is out of control and she can't see

But at least she's alive

CHORUS

She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street

Saved by the power of her own two feet

Remembering a song from long ago

It's around and around, it's the way things go

The way things go

Shivers in the cold, slips on her clothes

Walks downstairs, icy wind blows

Face to face inside the front door

It's not a crime to need more

There's something I'm looking for

If you leave now you can never come back

You're throwing us away, you can't do that

I'm falling like a leaf from the family tree

I don't need you the way you need me

You need me

CHORUS (2x)

Five in the morning, lying in bed

Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
