The Village In The Morning

Outside the rain is coming down

Inside it's warm and dry

You'll never find a cab uptown

So why not stay the night?



Why don't you call in sick tomorrow?

Let's sleep the day away

I've got pajamas you can borrow

Let's take a holiday



You can't leave the village in the the morning

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river

And you can't find the breath to whisper

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye



Why don't you stay until the weekend?

It should clear up by then

As your resolve begins to weaken

We'll become such good friends



And you could stay until the summer

And we can sleep through spring

And I can telephone my drummer

And have her get your things



You can't leave the village in the the morning

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river

And you can't find the breath to whisper

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye



Why don't you stay until we're old

And fall in love with life?

Why don't you stay until we're ghosts

We'll only seem to die



You can't leave the village in the the morning

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river

And you can't find the breath to whisper

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye
