The Lone Bellow - Then Came The Morning Album Lyrics

Then came the morning
It was bright, like a light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like a flood from the storm that you kept from my heart

Take the dog with you when you leave
Wash my hands of all this broken heave
Never forget what you thought you'd never be
If you ever let me
Break the spell and try and
Leave it when we couldn't find it

Then came the morning
It was bright, like a light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like a flood from the storm that you kept from my heart

Take my words, breathe them out like smoke
Burn every single letter that I wrote
Let the pages turn to ash, I don't want them back
Everything you always said to me
Starts to sound like broken glass on streets
Spreaded out all over places where I sleep

Now you finally left me
Done with all your lying
Joy comes in the morning
You won't see me crying

Then came the morning
It was bright, like the light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like a flood from the storm that you kept from my heart

Then came the morning
It was lost when you left when you took what I felt
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Then came the morning

Then the storm breaks the cold
Not towards the line I thought you stole
Start to feel what I felt way before
You broke down my front door
Popped my heart up off the wooden floor
Now I don't need your smile anymore

Then came the morning
It was bright, like a light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like a flood from the storm that you kept from my heart

Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Then came the morning

Fake roses on the mantle
Elvis postcards on the fridge
Ed lays softly by the ringer
Baby's sleeping in the crib
Old broken taped up tail light
On momma's Monte Carlo
She don't open all the gas bills
Just leaves it on the dashboard

It's a low and lonesome song
When the wind sweeps through the pine
She just turns the TV on
Puts her mind on better times

Takes the long way home from work
Car parked on the wrong side of the bridge
Country gold, Saturday night, and smokes one
You don't have to tell me any of this

It's a low and lonesome song
When the wind sweeps through the pine
She just turns the TV on
Puts her mind on better times [x2]

Your heart is breaking
I hear what you're saying
You don't have to tell me anything [x3]

He won't come around again
She don't open that front door
She hears that low and lonesome sound
She don't answer anymore.

Marietta,
You lost me a long time ago,
in your midnight,
the flood and the fire of my soul

And I let you in again, I let you in again,
You sleep with the lights on,
I let you in again

Marietta,
the loneliness burns at your door,
in your midnight,
she seeps through the cracks in your floor

And I let you in again, I let you in again,
You sleep with the lights on,
what you call your family are gone
I let you in again
and patiently wait for your storm.

The worry of what couldn't be,
the love for the lust of your name,
of losing, of winning, of striving, of leaving
and stealing and breaking and shame.

And I am that man

The worry of what couldn't be,
the love for the lust of your name,
of losing, of winning, of striving, of leaving, of stealing
and breaking and shame,
of fighting and failing and lying and telling yourself
that you're clean of the blame.

I let you in again, I let you in again,
you sleep with the lights on,
what you call your family are gone

I let you in again
and patiently wait for your storm.

I know something
You're no liar
You're the beauty I admire
Burning love, hope, and desire
You're the woods at night on fire

Oh I miss you when it's cold out
Church bells ring I hear you sing out
An old broken record turning
You're a wild melody

I know I might not be he one you take

Take my love
Take my love

When you told me you can't sleep
Count your sins instead of sheep
Count the ways that you feel weak
But that is not what I see

You're no wreckage, you're a fire
Straight the sky by your own power
Sounding loud above the water
You're a wild melody

I know I might not be the one you take
I've got a heart that may not fade away

Take my love
Take my love
Take my love

Reach the windows, I see him
Has your bed gone up in flames?
Hear that roof cry as it caves
Of its power on your face

No one's had you hide before
Felt that breathing on your floor
Felt that move at your front door
Felt that blood inside you boil

(Take my love)
You're no sunset
You're no liar
You're the beauty I admire
(Take my love)
You're the woods at night on fire
Burning love, hope, and desire
(Take my love)
Girl I miss you when it's cold out
Church bells ring I hear you sing out
(Take my love)
You're a broken record turning
You're a wild melody

Take my love
Take my love
Take my love
Take my love

Tables prepared in streets of gold
You've bared your tears from starry stone
The stage is set so we can fly
But suns will set and hearts are wild

'Til the southern wind puts me 6 feet down
My feet won't rest 'til my love is found

Remember when the mountains fell
Like pennies down a wishing well?
Wish another day would come
When I would watch 'em far from home

'Til the southern wind puts me 6 feet down
My feet will march on holy ground

Our laborin' may end in pain
While we walk the fields of the same
When called to war from trumpets tall
Love will see the army's fall
When called to war from trumpets tall
Love will see the army's fall

Watch over us
Watch over us
When my hands are tired
When my strength is gone

Momma, your baby's
Shrouded in sorrow
You've had your time
But who has tomorrow?

Watch over us
Watch over us
Father, your sickness
Lives here in me

I don't need no crown
I don't need no glory
You've had your life
But that ain't my story

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm almost
Leveled to the ground

But my baby's sleeping
Sleeping in peace

So watch over us

Break into the diners at midnight
Every light is out but the moonlight
Miss me at the table as you hobble on
Pretend I'm the one you still love
Play another song for your black heart
Put another coin in that jukebox
Dance along to all of the sad George Jones
Cry, cry, cry

Where are you now?
Where have you been?
Why do I waste, waste, waste
All the love that you lend?

Find another town where they ain't seen
How you break the windows while they sleep
Trailer broken diners found all along the highway
From here to St. Paul
It's a crying shame how you can't lie
Tell yourself I'm gone from your mind's eye
Jukebox plays some Willie, life of the times
And you cry, cry, cry

Where are you now?
Where have you been?
Why do I waste, waste, waste
All the love that you lend?

Where did you go?
You left me to death
The rules that I break, break, break
Into diners and sing

All of these sad, sad songs
Like I never did you wrong
Dance on the tables and pause, and scream
I am the one that you love

Where are you now?
Where have you been?
Why do I waste, waste, waste
All the love that you lend?

Where did you go?
You left me to death
The rules that I break, break, break
Into diners and sing

Heaven don't call me home
Georgia will, Georgia will
I'm on my [?]
I'm dressed to kill, dressed to kill
Send me down, Carolina by the 405
Don't shed a tear for me, son, I'll be fine
When I'm dead and gone, Heaven call me home
Damn sure Georgia will

So grab your company
Get free, get free
Oh give me your blood, sweat, microphone twirlin'
Stomp your feet, stomp your feet
Take me down to the shores by the county line
Ogeechee River gonna kiss that sky
When I'm dead and gone, Heaven call me home
Damn sure Georgia will

So tell my band that I'll be travelin' home
And tell my pa I could use some understandin'
And tell my sister they want it all
And this road never was a friend of me so...
Set me free

Heaven don't call me home
Georgia will, Georgia will
I'm on my [?]
I'm dressed to kill, dressed to kill
Send me down, Carolina by the 405
Don't shed a tear for me, son, I'll be fine
When I'm dead and gone, Heaven call me home
Damn sure Georgia will

Fallen embers from a flamin' rose
Keep my heart and take it where you go
You never came close, a million miles from my soul
So just move along, move along

If you don't love me, if you don't love me
Leave me and let me go
Leave me and let me go

Fallen embers from a flamin' sky
Spinnin' red, make a way out into the night
I could be out in the daytime huntin' out a passerby
When you're howlin' at the moon, howlin' at the moon

If you don't love me, if you don't love me
If you don't love me, if you don't love me
Leave me and let me go
Leave me and let me go

Can you tell me how a heart can move on
Can you break what binds me, whatever it was
From the lifeless ashes, what we've become
Can you tell me, tell me, tell me

If you don't love me, if you don't love me
If you don't love me, if you don't love me
Leave me and let me go
Leave me and let me go

Hickory to Telluride
I act like I've got nothing to hide
Like I ain't got no wrong inside
Hickory to Telluride

Hickory to Telluride
I act like I've got nothing to hide
Like I ain't got no wrong inside
Hickory to Telluride

To hell you ride
To hell you ride
Like I ain't got no wrong inside
Hickory to Telluride

Keep under the valley stool
You got me asleep under the moon
In and out of my dreams in bloom
Hickory you're by my side

To hell you ride
To hell you ride
Like I ain't got no wrong inside
Hickory to Telluride

Broken bones and burn decide
Your blood makes its way into the night
Hands are cold and fever ride
Hickory to Telluride
To hell you ride
To hell you ride
To hell you ride
To hell you

You were golden, filled with power
Steps you took they settled fire
You were leaving, losing something
Taking in your downward spiral

I would watch you in the moonlight
Softly stepping towards the midnight
Through the wet dress to the woods
Far behind you where I stood

House of cards
Stacked with care
That's fallen
Time the thief of all
that's good has gone
Oooooooh

There you saw me barely breathing
Hear you say, I'm finally leaving
You were golden, filled with power
Walking toward your final hour

Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave

I saw you walking under water,
While I was drowning underneath
I'm just like any other damned,
Pulling me into the deep

Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave

Your name was written on the air though
I cut my name up to that tree
You're cold, but darling it's all natural
Way you bring me to my knees!

Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave

Water you take me in,
Calling me instead
While I speed, wash me
Singing sorrow songs,
Lock before the dawn
Waiting for the midnight
Waiting for the midnight

Water you take me in,
Calling me instead
While I speed, wash me
Singing sorrow songs,
Lock before the dawn
Waiting for the midnight
Waiting for the midnight

Waiting...
Waiting...

Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave
Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog
I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave

I let you go
and hoped you'd come back
Hoped you'd come back to me
Oh I let you go
and hoped you'd come back
Hoped you'd come back to me

I let you go
and hoped you'd come back
Hoped you'd come back to me
Oh I let you go
and hoped you'd come back
Hoped you'd come back to me

Cause leaving ain't as easy as it used to be
You wear my heart on your sleeve

Oh I let you go
Hoped you'd come back to me
Letters that I write
you won't find you lonely
Won't find you thinking about me
Oh I let you go
and hoped you'd come to me
