In the morning fun when no one will be drinking any more wine

I'll wake the sun up by givin' him a fresh air full of the wind cup

And I won't be found in the shadows hiding sorrow

And I can wait for fate to bring around to me any part of my tomorrow, tomorrow



'cause it's oh, so peaceful here

There's no one bending over my shoulder

Nobody breathing in my ear

Oh, so peaceful here



In the evening shadows are callin' me and the dew settles in my mind

And I think of friends in the yesterday when my plans were giggled in rhyme

I had a son while on the run and his love brought a tear to my eye

And maybe some day he'll up and say "We had a pretty nice time", oh, oh, oh, my



'cause it's oh, so peaceful here

There's no one bending over my shoulder

Nobody breathing in my ear

Oh, so peaceful here
