Lyrics When My Morning Comes Around - Iris DeMent

When My Morning Comes Around

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
