Morningbird

from All Among the Pines by Lewis Mullen

/

about

Another flatmate song, and a musing on how we can miss out on some of life's magic by looking for it instead of seeing it. Originally performed with the Ferny Brackens

lyrics

Morningbird you're happy and I'm glad
Morningbird you're happy, and I'm so very glad
But you got me grieving for a life I've never had

Morningbird look how you've grown
Morningbird look how you have changed and you have grown
You got me missing highs I've never known

And I've looked high, and I've looked all around
And I've looked low, and this is what I've found

Morningbird, the dew is wet
Morningbird the sun is up and the dew is wet
You got me thinking of friends I've never met

Morningbird, the air is chill
Morningbird the walls are cracked and the air outside is chill
I see you watching from my window sill

And I've looked high, and I've looked all around
And I've looked low, and this is what I've found
I only ever looked, I never ever seen a thing
I only ever looked, I never ever seen a thing

Morningbird you're happy and I'm glad
Morningbird you're happy, and I'm so very glad
But you got me grieving for a life I've never had

Lewis Mullen Glasgow, UK

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
