In the Morning Lyrics by Ian Freud

Up on the Downside

2017

In the halflight, ships sulk in the harbour
And the sailors spit and curse the air
And the cold waves kiss the sullen metal
And sing the ocean’s song
The fog clings to every single surface
Spelling morning in drops of glister dew
Where spiders hang their crystal rigging
To try to catch the sun
Tell me why
Show me things I don’t already know
Tell me why
There’s nowhere left for me to go
I watch the waves crash down below
In the morning, the last night turns to ashes in my mouth
A pale disk peering through the thin clouds
On the houses that tumble to the sea
Down the steep streets that cling onto the cliffsides
Like people to their dreams
What happened? I piece together last night
(I remember shouting things and standing at the bar)
And I wonder what I might have said
(Then I must have wandered cos I was staring at the stars)
Turn my collar up against the morning
(I clung onto a railing and was sick into the sea)
Spit the night out on the street
(Somehow found my way back to the poky B&B)
Tell me why
Show me things I don’t already know
Tell me why
There’s nowhere left for me to go
I watch the waves crash down below
In the morning, the last night turns to ashes in my mouth
