Mornings With You

from Sweet & Sorrow by Catherine Ruth

/

lyrics

Sun and the moon and the falling rain
Hang over us, over our heads
We’re standing in the balance and the whole world’s still
Will you take this hand?
I will
I will

////

Carrying morning in a coffee cup
Nothing is so sacred as the thing that wakes

Wake me up (Love, the day is here)
Make me rise (I set the coffee the night before)
Like the sun (Would you like a slice of toast?)
Like sourdough I grow up and
over the edge (How did you sleep? What did you dream about?)
Of the bowl (If you get out of bed we can just sit together)
Of the bed (Open the blinds)
Make me whole (Let the sun)
Feed me bread (Shine on in)
Give me eyes wide to wonder
Feet to wander in
Carrying something so sacred
The thing that wakes me up
Morning in a coffee cup

So wake with me, darling
Before our alarms
I know that you’re tired
That’s half of the charm
We’ll sit, sip, sigh, though your eyes are still closed
And I’ll feel the sunrise enough for us both
I hope that you know, baby
Hope that you know
That there’s more to my brewing
than coffee to go
It’s a promise, a prayer, a hopeful hue
That I might get to spend every morning with you
With morning in a coffee cup
