Blue Morning (Chris Hillman)


Runnin' down the road most of my life
Hangin' on to a feelin' I'm holdin' on tight
Chasin' after dreams they're just around the bend
That's all we got left to do all we got left and then

Blue, blue morning, Lord take me down
Some joker got lucky his first time around
Down by the river in a cold damp room
Watching your life go by maybe just a little too soon

I've been away from you a long, long time
I know it's so hard to lay your heart out on the line
Tell me who you've turned to these dark and lonely nights
Who is it that you call your own

Blue, blue morning, Lord take me down
Some joker got lucky his first time around
Down by the river in a cold damp room
Watching your life go by maybe just a little too soon

And when the sun comes up and the clouds disappear
A new day's gonna shine and wipe away those tears
When you're sure it's over, when the battle's won
Sleep through the night, my boy, dreams are free for everyone

Blue, blue morning, Lord take me down
Some joker got lucky his first time around
Down by the river in a cold damp room
Watching your life go by maybe just a little too soon

Too soon
Too soon
