Candy Apple Morning

Open the blinds, invite the light in

I start making tea in the kitchen

Butter on bread, the paper unread

The first bird greets the sun and I listen

Candy apple morning

I’m struck and I’m glowing

Candy apple morning

You got me rollin’

I look outside, they’re wiping down tables

A lady is sweeping the sidewalk

Down by the bar, a forgotten guitar

With mother-of-pearl on the headstock

Candy apple morning

I’m struck and I’m glowing

Candy apple morning

You got me rollin’

Some stay up late, love the dark to create

Come alive when the lights are low

I’d rather engage when the day’s a blank page

That’s where I find my flow

Open the blinds, let the light in

There’s cardamom tea in the kitchen

Got paper and pen, you never know when

The first note comes alive and I listen

I’m struck and I’m glowing

You got me rollin’
