Early Morning Riser

Oh I'm an early morning riser

Truth be told

Beneath the stars I face the cars before the moon gets old

I'm an early morning riser

Cardboard gold

I hold a sign for scraps and dimes as the day unfolds

You can see us on the corner

You can see us at a light

You can see us in our beds beneath the tree

You can see us in the alley

You can see us in the street

You can see us all around

But you just can't see me

Oh I'm an early morning riser

Truth be told

Beneath the stars I face the cars before the moon gets old

I'm an early morning riser

Broke and cold

Cement seat while the eyes retreat is the job I hold

I'm an early morning riser

A mother's scold

Stay away from those that lay on the grass gray and dull

You can see us on the corner

You can see us at a light

You can see us in our beds beneath the tree

You can see us in the alley

You can see us in the street ohh

You can see us all around

But you just can't see me

Oh I'm an early morning riser

Truth be told

Beneath the stars I face the cars before the moon gets old
