To the Morning

Thinking this morning of morning's power, and of one of my favorite songs, which is about the morning. It's by Dan Fogelberg, and was the opening song on Chicago's WFMT when I lived there way back when, often the first sound I heard every day. Here's how it goes:

Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops
Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning
And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning
Waiting for mail
Maybe a tale
From an old friend
Or even a lover
Sometimes there's none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written
And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.
