[Verse 1]
C                                 D
   A distant night bird mocks the sun
Dm                         C
   I wake as I have always done
C                         D
   To freshly scented sycamore
Dm                                C
   And cold bare feet on hardwood floor

F                              G
   My steaming coffee warms my face
Gm                         F
   I'm disappointed in the taste
C                                D
   But there's a peace the early brings
Dm                              C
   The morning world of growing things

[Verse 2]
G                           Am
   I feel the moments hurry on
F                          E
   It was today, it's died away
                         C
   And now it is forever gone

                              D
   And I will drink my coffee slow
Dm                            C
   And I will watch my shadow grow
C                       D
   And disappear in firelight
Dm                         C
   And sleep alone again tonight
