Morningside

all day you lay / on the bottom of the oak / you hide in shade / I tried to wait / for the answers in a truth / I couldn't take / all I made / gestured in the old unfamiliar way / you wouldn't take / another darn word / it was far too late / once you're crying / I'm two times lying / there's no use trying / to stay the same / in three years' timing / for what?
I'm shying / away from my only one real pain / it doesn't pay / to follow someone 'round / who won't give in / I've never prayed / but someone's gotta tell me / just why you came / once you're lying / I'm two times shy / and there's no use I / can find to wait / in three years' crying / for what?
I'm trying / to make up time I threw away / and once you're crying / I'm two times lying / there's no use trying / to stay the same / in three years' timing / for what?
I'm shying / away from my only one real pain / I won't take off alone / I won't take off, oh no / I won't take off alone / I won't take off, oh no
