The Old Ceremony — Morning Glories lyrics

Lyrics

Where did you sleep my lover
Your windows cold and tight
I waited here 'til dawn
Just see those morning glories
Growing in your eyes
Out in the freezing cold, but
My heart is colder still
I never begged you for those morning glories
And I never will
Sweet breath of beer and whiskey
Pale hands and gleaming eyes
She finally stumbles home
With a man I do not recognize
She told so many stories
I finally got wise
Now there’s no more morning glories
Growing in her eyes
Where did you sleep my lover
Your windows cold and tight
I waited here 'til dawn
Just see those morning glories
Growing in your eyes
…growing in your eyes
…growing in your eyes
