about

Morning is a Ghost Town
(Words & Music by John DeLore & Matt Kubacki)

lyrics

Morning is a ghost town, shadow is a song.
My shadow is a scarecrow twenty feet long on the sidewalk.
You drink a little water to wash down a pill.
You take me to a house at the top of the hill on the east side.

There’s a little black bird on a white picket fence.
I wanna be your love and I wanna be your friend.
I want you to smile when you see me comin’ around.
Lover will you sing when they lay me down?

You wanna do right and you wanna do good
But you got to know feelings like a butcher knows blood on a holiday.
The talk is cheap but it tastes pretty good.
Makin’ love is better when we make it in the woods with the sun going down.

There’s a little blue bird in a big evergreen
Just like a silhouette on a silver screen
I want you to sing when you see me coming around
But lover will you sing when they lay me down?

Go your way my sweetheart.
Come back on the other side of a lonely spell
Tell me all the bittersweet parts
Your shadow goes before you now.

Morning is a ghost town, shadow is a song.
My shadow is a scarecrow twenty feet long on the sidewalk.
