Morning Paper

from In Search of Home by From Ash and Dust

/

lyrics

The wind is playing in the field
The grass is waving from the yard
A rooster crows from afar

A kettle boils on the stove
Dust falls on the kitchen sill
Bet I could hear it if I listened still

Listen quick before your head quicks in
Another day begins

Ay oh!
There's a world outside, kid
How can you hear if it you close your eyelids?
How will you know it if you never try it?
And only make time for the morning paper

Every tune, every lyric, you're bound to find it
If you listen for the melodies in the silence
Then you'll know just when to chime in
Don't need to always make time for the morning paper

I keep my window and soul closed
The woodpeckers have been trying for a while
To see if they could make my heart smile

I've always been too shy to inquire
Why the stick bug made his fortress
In the garden where his schemes get thwarted

I don't want the surprise, just the party
But these four walls never let you
Ever feel the morning air and fresh dew

That's why you gotta
Listen quick before your head quicks in
Another day begins

Sounds all around softly calling your name
Maybe this could really be a beautiful day
Gotta take it in now, don't forget to later
But what's more important than the morning paper?
Sounds all around softly calling your name
Maybe this could really be a beautiful day
Gotta take it in now, don't forget to later
That's more important than reading the morning paper

There's a world outside
That you just can't hear if you close your eyes
This time I'm gonna try
To see what happens when I put down the morning paper

Every tune, every lyric, then I'm bound to find it
If I listen for the melodies in the silence
Then I'll know just when to chime in
Don't need to make time for the morning paper

Cause I can't sing over all this noise
My song gets lost and I lose my voice
I shut it all out to remind me again
My song is the reason I sing

Cause I cant sing over all this noise (x3)
My song is the reason I sing

Every tune, every lyric, then I'm bound to find it
If I listen for the melodies in the silence
Then I'll know just when to chime in
Don't need to make time for the morning paper
