Morning Is A Long Way Down Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Wrap your arms around me 

And hold me close to your light 

I'm too weak for flying tonight 

I've been running all nighttime 

Trying to hide from the hounds 

And morning is a long way down 

I was always the strongest 

So young and so fast 

I was always sure that it would last 

And now I'm stuck here at midnight 

And there's cliffs all around 

And morning is a long way down

I never ask the hard questions 

I never try to transform 

I was always just waiting to be born 

But now the sun's tied with night-chains 

Like Prometheus, bound 

And morning is a long way down 

Photos 

So wrap your arms around me 

And hold me close to your light 

I'm too weak for flying tonight 

But I don't care about nighttime 

Or the light that is gone 

If you'll just hold me 'til dawn
