Morning-Glory by Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley
Goodbye & Hello (1967)
Morning-Glory


I Lit My Purest Candle Close To My
Window, Hoping It Would Catch The Eye
Of Any Vagabond Who Passed It By,
And I Waited In My Fleeting House

Before He Came I Felt Him Drawing Near;
As He Neared I Felt The Ancient Fear
That He Had Come To Wound My Door And Jeer,
And I Waited In My Fleeting House

'Tell Me Stories,' I Called To The Hobo;
'Stories Of Cold,' I Smiled At The Hobo;
'Stories Of Old,' I Knelt To The Hobo;
And He Stood Before My Fleeting House

'No,' Said The Hobo, 'No More Tales Of Time;
Don't Ask Me Now To Wash Away The Grime;
I Can't Come In 'Cause It's Too High A Climb,'
And He Walked Away From My Fleeting House

'Then You Be Damned!' I Screamed To The Hobo;
'Leave Me Alone,' I Wept To The Hobo;
'Turn Into Stone,' I Knelt To The Hobo;
And He Walked Away From My Fleeting House
