Morning Chorus

Lyrics

[Verse]
The dawn creeps in like a thief in the night
Nick's alarm it wails with all its might
Oh cruel morn why dost thou come
Nick's warm bed he's far from done

[Verse 2]
The coffee's cold the toast is burnt
Nick's dreams of slumber quickly squirt
Out the window like a bird in flight
Curse you morning and your harsh light

[Chorus]
Rise rise the sun screams loud
Nick's a prisoner in daybreak's shroud
He shakes his fist at the glistening rays
Wishing for endless nights and endless haze

[Verse 3]
The rooster crows like a mocking friend
Nick's eyes they droop he'll never mend
Sleepless nights and mornings gray
In his dreams he’d rather stay

[Bridge]
Oh to be a bat or an owl of night
Nick longs to escape the sunrise fight
The world it spins in morning's glare
Nick wishes to evade its snare

[Verse 4]
The clock it ticks with cruel disdain
Nick rises up his heart in pain
Each sunrise a loathed affair
In the morning light he finds no care
