I'm driving through the open roads of hometown The Junipers are swaying again It's barely five o'clock and sunlight's on the loch And nothing's wrong, no, nothing's wrong I've been working day and night for this moment Since I shed those leaves of doubt It's here I want to stay, in the early morning grey And I can't change, no, I can't change No more running at the moon in all her splendor Her faces haunted me I'm staying where the days will seem much longer In the early morning grey There's something in this season, so golden Something in the lay of this land If only you and me were the child I can see We'd be all right I'm standing on the fringe of the ocean The century is closing at last It's here I want to stay, in the early morning grey And I can't change, no, I can't change No more running at the moon in all her splendor Her faces haunted me I'm staying where the days will seem much longer In the early morning grey
