Morning Come - Marianne Faithfull

When will the morning come?

I wait in darkness so long

Will the sun ever rise again?

Hours flowing over me

I wait in vain for some change

Will light ever pierce this pain?

Riding on a humming bird’s wing

Caravans fleeing from the east

May the pilgrim join in the feast

How will the morning be?

I watched the dawn in my dreams

And imagined the day for years

Shall i feel warmth again

And feel it true when they say

That the day never ends in tears?

Riding on a humming bird’s wing

Caravans fleeing from the east

May the pilgrim join in the feast

Tell me please

How will it come

This release

A crack in the door

Shall i feel warm again

And feel it true when they say

That the day never ends in tears?

Beyond and back of the wind

Little birds fly into the sea

Morning light shine on me

Oh, tell me please, how will she come

Surrounding me, the opening door?

Riding on a humming bird’s wing

Caravans fleeing from the east

May the pilgrim join in the feast

Beyond and back of the wind

Little birds fly into the sea

Morning light shine on me

Riding on a humming bird’s wing

Caravans fleeing from the east …
