Mourning Morning Lyrics - Overtones - Just Jack

Morning light don't scratch my eyes 

Just let me wash up on a shore 

I used to have the strangest dreams 

But they don't come here anymore 

My duvet's laid out like an atlas 

With stains to mark the borderlines 

Indentations in my pillow 

I hope won't fade with time 

Smoke the roach left in the ashtray 

On which I choked the night before 

Stubbed my toes on dirty clothes 

Like mountain ranges on a floor 

I pick my way through crusty dishes 

And their greasy chemistry 

I washed two cups and then remember 

That you've left already 

I let you go so reluctantly 

And I can still hear your lazy symphony 

And just when I think I found my calling 

It's another mourning morning 

They say the devil's in the detail 

I'm gonna blind my eyes instead 

I put my memories in a landscape 

Where only reckless angels tread 

And watch the fingerprints you left 

Like a secret code upon my skin 

And I remember when you told me 

A gilded crown won't make a king 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But sometimes it doesn't show 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

Let the conversation flow 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But sometimes it doesn't show 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

Have to go again 

I let you go so reluctantly 

And I can still hear your lazy symphony 

And just when I think I found my calling 

It's another mourning morning 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

I really want you to stay 

But I know you have to go 

Have to go again
