In the Real Early Morning

In the real early morning

With the sun slowly rising

I was walking out slowly

Wandering free

When out in the distance

Over the valley

I saw an old friend

Waiting for me

Waiting for me

She was a young girl

She was an old soul

As fair as the ocean

Timeless and free

She was my mother

She was my daughter

She was my lover

She was everything

An old friend could be

I said it's been such a long time

Since we have spoken

There's so much to say to you

I want you to know

Wish you could tell me

All that you've seen here

But we haven't got long now

For soon you'll be fading

And soon I must go

hmmm.....hmmm.....

I know the way home

She said you are a soldier

You are a father

You are a wise man

You are a friend

You were my first love

I won't forget you

I'm walking beside you

I was here when you started

I'll be here till the end

And now it's evening

There's a moon slowly rising

There isn't much more that

I wanted to know (wanted to know)

And I am alone now

She isn't beside me no more

But I feel no sorrow

I'll come tomorrow

I'll be on my way home

I'll be on my way home
