Morningside

Morningside

The old man died

And no one cried

They simply turned away

And when he died

He left a table made of nails and pride

And with his hands he carved these words inside

"For my children"

Morning light

Morning bright

I spent the night

With dreams that make you weep

Morning time

Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine

For I recall the words the old man signed

"For my children"

And the legs were shaped with his hands

And the top made of oaken wood

And the children sat around this great table

Touched with their laughter

Ah, and that was good

Morningside

An old man died

And no one cried

He surely died alone

And truth is sad

For not a child would claim the gift he had

The words he carved became his epitath

"For my children"

I'm a Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else, but not for me

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing

The more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah

What's the use in tryin'

All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face, now I’m a believer

…..
What's the use of trying

All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
