Written by: neil diamond<br><br>Morningside<br>The old man died<br>And no one cried<br>They simply turned away<br>And when he died<br>He left a table made of nails and pride<br>And with his hands he carved these words inside<br>For my children<br><br>Morning light<br>Morning bright<br>I spent the night<br>With dreams that make you weep<br>Morning time<br>Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine<br>For I recall the words the old man signed<br>For my children<br><br>And the legs were shaped with his hands<br>And the top made of oaken wood<br>And the children sat around this table<br>Touched with their laughter<br>Ah, and that was good<br><br>Morningside<br>An old man died<br>And no one cried<br>He surely died alone<br>And truth is sad<br>For not a child would claim the gift he had<br>The words he carved became his epitath<br>For my children
