(Shel Silverstein)
|
|
This is the last mornin' that I wake up in this dirty city
|
Looking for the sunshine as the buildings block the skies
|
This is the last mornin' that I wash in rusty water
|
Tryin' to shave a face that I don't even recognise
|
|
Down the hallway rats are skitterin'
|
I can smell the garbage rottin'
|
Hear the children cryin' in an apartment down below
|
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to listen to it
|
I'm going home, yeah
|
|
This is the last mornin', that I try to breath the heavy air
|
Fight the crowds, avoid the traffic, watch the world turn grey
|
This is the last mornin' that I drink my coffee standing up
|
Smile and speak to strangers who just turn and walk away
|
|
This is a tough cold city here
|
And I'll guess I'll never cut it here
|
And I'm so tired of tryin' to stand against it all alone
|
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to fight it
|
I'm going home, yeah
|
|
This is the last mornin' that I wear these greasy overalls
|
Punch the clock and do just what I'm told to get along
|
And face the long evenin', layin' close beside my radio
|
Imaginin' the kisses of the girl that sings the song
|
|
Down below the subway's screaming
|
As I lay here halfway dreaming
|
Looking at the ceiling, wondering where, the dream went wrong (where, where)
|
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to think about it
|
I'm going home
|
|
I'm going home
|
I'm going home
|
I'm going home
