From the recording Doors Open at Nine
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The street is quiet and the stars are fading
Somewhere a bird is singing out of tune
I’ve been up all night just thinking it over
Every road I took, every road I knew
[Chorus]
Before the morning comes
I’m gonna make it right
Before the morning comes
I’ll leave behind the night
Every mistake, every wasted one
I’ll lay them down before the morning comes
[Verse 2]
There’s a little light behind the mountains
There’s a little hope I haven’t used
And if I’ve got the strength to stand here waiting
Then I’ve got the strength to start brand new
[Chorus]
Before the morning comes
I’m gonna make it right
Before the morning comes
I’ll leave behind the night
Every mistake, every wasted one
I’ll lay them down before the morning comes
[Bridge]
And when the sun breaks through the window
I’ll be ready, I’ll be strong
I’ll be the one I should have been
All along
[Chorus]
Before the morning comes
I’m gonna make it right
Before the morning comes
I’ll leave behind the night
Every mistake, every wasted one
I’ll lay them down before the morning comes
[Outro]
Before the morning comes
Before the morning comes
