Morningside Lyrics - Neil Diamond

Written by: neil diamond 

Morningside 

the old man died 

and no one cried 

they simply turned away 

and when he died 

he left a table made of nails and pride 

and with his hands he carved these words inside 

"for my children" 

Morning light 

morning bright 

i spent the night 

with dreams that make you weep 

morning time 

wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine 

for i recall the words the old man signed 

"for my children"

And the legs were shaped with his hands 

and the top made of oaken wood 

and the children sat around this table 

touched with their laughter 

ah, and that was good 

Morningside 

an old man died 

and no one cried 

he surely died alone 

and truth is sad 

for not a child would claim the gift he had 

the words he carved became his epitath 

"for my children"
