Morning Blues (From the album MANDALA)
It’s 5:00 AM and I can’t sleep no more.
Said it’s 5:00 AM, and I can’t sleep no more.
All I can do is watch the cockroaches cross your floor.
I’ve got something to say baby — can’t hold back no more.
Said I’ve got something to say baby — can’t hold back no more.
I’m gonna let the cat out of the bag and spill all my secrets for sure.
Staring at the ceiling trying to put my life in place.
Said I’m staring at the ceiling trying to put my life in place.
Maybe by the morning child, I’ll know the words to say.
BREAK
Now… don’t hold back, cause you only live once.
You gotta break these chains and start having fun.
We got the morning blues…
I’m trying not to give myself away but it’s no use.
SOLO
It’s 5:00 AM and I can’t sleep no more.
Said it’s 5:00 AM, and I can’t sleep no more.
Gonna let the cat out of the bag and spill all my secrets for sure.
BREAK
