I woke up this morning, bitter and cold

My bones ached, my joints cracked, damn I felt old

Why did I wake up this morning?

I woke up this morning from the wildest of dreams

A fairytale land where nothing was as it seemed

That’s why I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning to an unfamiliar life

Minus all my possessions but chock full of strife

That’s why I hate some mornings

I woke up this morning and you weren’t there

The spot where you should be has long sine been bare

I’m so mad I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning and quickly gathered myself

Collected my thoughts, grabbed my notebook from the shelf

I write my best stuff in the morning

I woke up this morning, God knows I didn’t want to

With so much stacked against me, I don’t know what I’m gonna do

But I woke up this morning
