song title:Morning Lullaby
date: 2005-07-31
song notes:Written and recorded in a single day in Berkeley, CA. Living alone in a new house with only my guitar and recording equipment and a foam pad to sleep on...
lyrics: 

verse 1:
A little light in the kitchen, a kettle on the stove,
you've got to love that first taste of first light.
Footsteps in the hallway, you're coming back to bed,
looking for a little more of midnight.

Chorus:
Your love in the morning is like a lullaby,
it pulls me back to sleep.
I get your love like a warning:
"Don't let go, it's something you can keep."

verse 2:
This big old house is empty, I'm sleeping on the floor,
I'm not much good at keeping up without you.
There's no footsteps in the hallway, no shadows on the wall,
no way to tell midnight from noon.

Chorus:
Your love in the morning is like a lullaby,
it pulls me back to sleep.
I get your love like a warning:
"Don't let go, of something like this
love in the morning, like this lullaby,
let it pull you back to sleep.
Take that love like a warning and don't let go
of something you can keep.
it's something you can keep."
