Morning Came Too Soon - The Waterboys

We went out for a meal to a restaurant she found

Walked back holding hands through a quiet part of town

Her place was hung with scarves and lit by tiny lights

Country music on the player, she said «won't you stay the night?»

And morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

We kissed, it seemed like hours on her lovers' chair

Her hands made expeditions through my tangled hair

Her neck was doused in musk, its skin sweet to my tongue

I held her in my arms as in my arms she clung

And morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

We undressed each other gently with care and emphasis

And each uncovered piece of skin was welcomed by a kiss

Her blouse and pencil skirt fell tumbling to the ground

The country record ended, our breath the only sound

And morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Her bed was piled with pillows, and a blanket she had sewed

We ventured underneath, and slowly I unlocked her code

I worshiped her with hands, with tongue and breath and song

The answering of her body told me where to linger long

And morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

There was rhythm in the night, there was magic in the room

She drew herself on top, her eyes shone like the moon

Her loving mouth, her sensuous hands, and all that they expressed

But here I draw the veil, you must imagine all the rest

We lay in holy silence, our bodies still entwined

She thought she’d found her love of loves, and I thought I’d found mine

This folly would be shattered but not while we remained

Under night’s enchantment, safe in darkness’s domain

And morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon

Morning came too soon
