The Morning Lies Heavy - Allan Taylor, Lutz Moeller

The morning lies heavy on me, father

I couldn’t find the time to fall asleep

And I couldn’t stop from thinking on it either

And the morning lies heavy on me

They said I wouldn’t have to be there 'til tomorrow

And there are friends of mine I’ve really got to see

But it’s not goodbye I know they’re soon to follow

And the morning lies heavy on me

And tell me who’s the one who fights until he’s broken

Is it the men who sit in judgment on us all

I wouldn’t care if it was their lives they were taking

But they don’t listen or even answer to the call

And tomorrow I’ll be flying from the mainland

And joining in a new company

Some of us will never see our homeland

And the morning lies heavy on me

And what’s left for decent people to believe in

It’s not a question of to be or not to be

And what’s the point it’s only us that we’re deceiving

And the morning lies heavy on me

And tell me who’s the one who fights until he’s broken

Is it the men who sit in judgment on us all

I wouldn’t care if it was their lives they were taking

But they don’t listen or even answer to the call

The morning lies heavy on me, father

I couldn’t find the time to fall asleep

And I couldn’t stop from thinking on it either

And the morning lies heavy on me
