Morning Is a Long Way Down - Josh Ritter

Wrap your arms around me

And hold me close to your light

I’m too weak for flying tonight

I’ve been running all nighttime

Trying to hide from the hounds

And morning is a long way down

I was always the strongest

So young and so fast

I was always sure that it would last

And now I’m stuck here at midnight

And there’s cliffs all around

And morning is a long way down

I never ask the hard questions

I never try to transform

I was always just waiting to be born

But now the sun’s tied with night-chains

Like Prometheus, bound

And morning is a long way down

So wrap your arms around me

And hold me close to your light

I’m too weak for flying tonight

But I don’t care about nighttime

Or the light that is gone

If you’ll just hold me 'til dawn
