Lyrics

Mmm, my eyes grow wide
 Climb the moon as it falls
 On my knees begging for the morning
 ‘Neath the weight of it all
 When I was a baby
 Used to sit on my daddy’s knee
 “If I was a bird,” I said,
 “I’d have the biggest and the strongest wings”
 Then I was a young man
 Stood at the door with a quickness in my breath
 Just like my daddy done
 Left for the fun when it suited me best
 Mmm, my eyes grow wide
 Climb the moon as it falls
 On my knees begging for the morning
 ‘Neath the weight of it all
 But the morning doesn’t bring much
 An ache in my head and a sickness in my gut
 The only way out is up
 Glory train headed straight for the sun
 Down to the trestle I fall
 Looking for a friend or a holy ghost
 She’s the only god I know
 Going anywhere my morphine goes
 Morphine, my eyes grow wide
 Climb the moon as it falls
 On my knees begging for the morning
 ‘Neath the weight of it all
