Lyrics

Woke up this morning
With a song on my mind
Was it Donovan or Dylan
Could have been John Prine
But it won’t make much difference
If I can’t put down the words
And the chords to the melody
Of the music that I heard

It was song about a woman
Good-hearted, sweet and warm
We met by sheer coincidence
In the calm eye of a storm
There was something about her
That blew my mind away
A mellow kind of being
Leaving me in sway

So, I picked up my guitar
And played it note by note
Trying to make sense
Of the letters that she wrote
The yearnings and the pain
Emotional hurricanes
The break-ups and re-unions
Time and time again

Woke up this morning
With a song on my mind
´bout family and loved ones
And folks I left behind
‘bout the devil on my shoulder
Who haunts me night and day
‘bout things I should have told her
Instead of causing fray

I still believe in miracles
And in Jesus Christ as well
In fate and in romance
Come heaven, come hell

Woke up this morning
With shivers down my spine
Reminiscing ‘bout mistakes
Pushing stop and rewind
It has happened often lately
That I’m dwelling on the past
And making up excuses
For things that didn’t last

So, when you wake up in the morning
With a song on your mind
Sing it out loud
And leave the past behind
