lyrics

THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE

Your breathing fogs the early winter air.
The bus will come when the time is right.
A voice in your head is singing, "There, there."
What were you thinking last night?

The dry leaves scatter all around your feet.
Another morning comes with later light.
The voice is singing against the beat.
What were you thinking last night?

The sun's too weak to make a proper blue.
Your socks are dirty, your pants too tight.
The singer cannot tell you what to do.
What were you thinking last night?

If clouds could talk, they'd laugh about your dreams.
Your aching eyes make everything too bright.
Each song is never more than what it seems.
What were you thinking last night?

Is this morning one that you'll remember?
Or one you should forget with all your might?
Has the singing ever been so tender?
What were you thinking last night?
