The Waterboys - Morning Came Too Soon lyrics

We went out for a meal to a restaurant she found Walked back holding hands through a quiet part of town Her place was hung with scarves and lit by tiny lights Country music on the player, she said “won’t you stay the night?” And morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon We kissed, it seemed like hours on her lovers’ chair Her hands made expeditions through my tangled hair Her neck was doused in musk, its skin sweet to my tongue I held her in my arms as in my arms she clung And morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon We undressed each other gently with care and emphasis And each uncovered piece of skin was welcomed by a kiss Her blouse and pencil skirt fell tumbling to the ground The country record ended, our breath the only sound And morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon Her bed was piled with pillows, and a blanket she had sewed We ventured underneath, and slowly I unlocked her code I worshipped her with hands, with tongue and breath and song The answering of her body told me where to linger long And morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon There was rhythm in the night, there was magic in the room She drew herself on top, her eyes shone like the moon Her loving mouth, her sensuous hands, and all that they expressed But here I draw the veil, you must imagine all the rest We lay in holy silence, our bodies still entwined She thought she’d found her love of loves, and I thought I’d found mine This folly would be shattered but not while we remained Under night’s enchantment, safe in darkness’s domain And morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon Morning came too soon
