in the morning
i'm tired baby
so tired and worn that my limbs don't want to move
i just want to lay here a while
let me look at you
before my eyes shut and i fall off into sleep
i wish i weren't so tired
but life gets you down baby
and it gets you down hard
but i'm coming home to you
and thats all i need right now
just to hear your voice
whispering in my ear that it is all going to be okay
and that life isn't always like this
that smiles come along
and laughter finds your willing ear
why is it so hard baby
why is it so hard
some nights i can't sleep
and i lay awake and worry
i watch you then
your face quiet in the afterglow of the street lights
i touch your face then
you smile softly in your sleep
you're never tired
and here i lie, exhausted with life
and not finding any energy to move
just let me sleep tonight baby
maybe in the morning
maybe in the morning
i'll smile for you
