I'm driving through the open roads of hometown
The junipers are swaying again
It's barely five o'clock and sunlight's on the loch

And nothing's wrong, no, nothing's wrong

I've been working day and night for this moment

Since I shed those leaves of doubt
It's here I want to stay, in the early morning gray
And I can't change, no, I can't change


Chorus:
No more running at the moon in all her splendor

Her faces haunted me
In the early morning gray


There's something in this season, so golden
Something in the lay of this land
If only you and me were the child I can see

We'd be all right

I'm standing on the fringe of the ocean

The century is closing at last
It's here I want to stay, in the early morning gray
And I can't change, no, I can't change


(Chorus)


In the early morning gray...
