Lyrics
If The Morning Comes
© 2007 Harper & Charren
Oh, the nighttime is coming
I can feel it fall
When I?ll have to surrender
To the thought I?ve lost it all
I?m just a pirate
On my sea, in my boat of one
But I will sail for new waters
If the mornings comes
It?s a fortunate soul
That knows the warmth of love
Might be luck, it might be penance
Might be help from the Lord above
I know she?s gone
Oh and I?m the lonely one
Count me as a survivor
If the morning comes
I?d like to think that I?m hero
Sailing out to sea
The terms of the evening
Say it ain?t meant to be
I?d waive to my loved one
Knowin? I?ve done all that can be done
And then just sail away
If the morning comes
Solo
I?d like to think that I?m a hero
Sailing out to sea
But the terms of the evening
Assure me it will never be
And I?d waive to my loved one
And know that I?ve done all that I can and could be done
Then I?d just sail away when the morning comes
I?ll just sail away if the morning comes
