When My Morning Comes Around - Iris DeMent

When my morning comes around

No one else will be there

So I won’t have to worry about

What I’m supposed to say

And I alone will know that

I climbed that great big mountain

And that’s all that will matter

When my morning comes around

When my morning comes around

I will look back on this valley

At these side-walks and alleys

Where I lingered for so long

And this place where I now live

Will burn to ash and cinder

Like some ghost I won’t remember

When my morning comes around

When my morning comes around

From a new cup I’ll be drinking

And for once I won’t be thinking

That there’s something wrong with me

And I’ll wake up and find

That my faults have been forgiven

And that’s when I’ll start living

When my morning comes around
