When My Mornin' Comes Around Lyrics - Iris Dement

When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there 

so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say 

and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain 

and that's all that will matter when my mornin' comes around 

When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley 

at these sidewalks and alleys where I lingered for so long 

and this place where I now live will burn to ash and cinder 

like some ghost I won't remember 

When my mornin' comes around 

When my mornin' comes around, from a new cup I'll be drinking 

and for once I won't be thinking that there's something wrong with me 

and I'll wake up and find that my faults have been forgiven 

and that's when I'll start living 

When my mornin' comes around
