In the Morning

Darling, come and tell me what is wrong

I know you think that they're big and strong

God knows these rooms aren't safe with the night so long

But in the morning, they may be gone

Your heart is beating faster, and your fever is red-hot

Ever since the Fall, we try to remember something we forgot

All the broken toys we left out on the lawn

Why, in the morning, they may be gone

See, these sheets and flimsy covers don't offer much protection

And they don't make Penicillin that'll cure your infection

And our method of detection is so wrong

But in the morning, they may be gone

Child, you know I love you and I care

But you will find the heart of man is worse than any nightmare

Oh, how they will try to steal your dawn

But in the morning, they may be gone

Close your eyes and try to get some sleep

Sufficient is the evil for the day we have to keep

It's written somewhere that this can't go on and on

Why, in the morning, it may be gone
