Misty Morning

Misty morning won't you take me by surprise?
Come on in and wipe the sleep right from my eyes
The moon has gone to pass, we'll ride upon the distance from the night

Misty morning, lift the fog upon your hillside
Take me back beyond the veil of your disguise
The same thing goes for me, we'll leave behind the nightmares by and by

Oh, misty morning, come and take me as a stranger
Raise the candle bringing light upon the day
Oh, misty morning, know that I am not a savior
But maybe you can be mine if you want me in that way

So come on out and shroud the everlasting struggles
Trade my pennies in for flowers made of gold
I know I gotta leave, but maybe you're the thing to make me stay

Come misty morning, show yourself upon the masses
Command the gunman to throw his ammo in the fire
Now everyone can see the self-inflicted lies that we believe

Oh, misty morning, come and take me as a stranger
Raise the candle bringing light upon the day
Oh, misty morning, know that I am not a savior
But maybe you can be mine if you want me in that way

Oh, misty morning
Oh, misty morning
Take my trouble all away
The world is getting weary
She's trying to catch her breath
From the underlying pain

I'll take my backpack to the south part of Ohio
And hope to God that I ain't walking in the rain
The clouds, they're gonna break, depleting for the sake of my surprise
