lyrics
every morning is a funeral
to bury my head in the sand
read the last rights to my reason
eulogize my broken plans
but I'll be reborn in the evening
shrug the undertaker's gown
get a refund for my casket
but for now, dear, please just keep it down
whisper in the morning time
whisper in the morning darling
if the dawn were late in coming
I wouldn't get up before noon
blare me with alarms and sirens
I'll be sleeping with the moon
you can tell me all you want to
you can talk me up and down
serve an earful with my coffee
but in the morning please just keep it down
whisper in the morning
whisper that you love me
whisper when the morning's round
whisper in the morning
shout it in the evening
when my head no longer pounds
in the cool light of the evening
when the sun's beating is done
and says her goodbye without leaving
shoots the day down with a gun
I'll pour my heart out on the table
I'll shout it all over town
I'll love you 'til I'm old and feeble
but in the morning please just keep it down
to bury my head in the sand
read the last rights to my reason
eulogize my broken plans
but I'll be reborn in the evening
shrug the undertaker's gown
get a refund for my casket
but for now, dear, please just keep it down
whisper in the morning time
whisper in the morning darling
if the dawn were late in coming
I wouldn't get up before noon
blare me with alarms and sirens
I'll be sleeping with the moon
you can tell me all you want to
you can talk me up and down
serve an earful with my coffee
but in the morning please just keep it down
whisper in the morning
whisper that you love me
whisper when the morning's round
whisper in the morning
shout it in the evening
when my head no longer pounds
in the cool light of the evening
when the sun's beating is done
and says her goodbye without leaving
shoots the day down with a gun
I'll pour my heart out on the table
I'll shout it all over town
I'll love you 'til I'm old and feeble
but in the morning please just keep it down
