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
