Lyrics
BALEFUL WAKING MORNING
A baleful, waking morning
Came upon you slow
With the driving snow
Now, howling around the door
You were still a young girl
But old enough to know
Not to let it show
To the familiar, intimate stranger
Who, unannounced was no surprise
And the guarded stance, in your eyes
Takes up arms again to shelter you from another glancing blow
Standing, swirling
Is the dream that you once had
When loneliness was a fad whose time was passing
A baleful waking morning
A pale and hollow dawn
A reminder of what’s gone
And it’s sure not needed
Married young, carried by youth
Believing all, in a truth
That you defended to the roots
Until all the changes
When torn from you in shouts and cries
Of false and pointless alibis
Were the sacred vows, spoke solemnly, yet did not speak the truth
Standing swirling
Is the dream that you once had
Who promises again faith everlasting
A baleful waking morning
Lurking around the door
Offering once more
A drink from a cup, that’s long since empty
You were still a young girl
But old enough to know
Even though you left that town
You could not get away
Intentions are the surest kind
Of deception, lying in the mind
And do not fit inside the lines, when drawn so ruthlessly
Standing swirling
Is the dream that you once had
But the hope of its return will soon be passing
A baleful, waking morning
Came upon you slow
With the driving snow
Now, howling around the door
You were still a young girl
But old enough to know
Not to let it show
To the familiar, intimate stranger
Who, unannounced was no surprise
And the guarded stance, in your eyes
Takes up arms again to shelter you from another glancing blow
Standing, swirling
Is the dream that you once had
When loneliness was a fad whose time was passing
A baleful waking morning
A pale and hollow dawn
A reminder of what’s gone
And it’s sure not needed
Married young, carried by youth
Believing all, in a truth
That you defended to the roots
Until all the changes
When torn from you in shouts and cries
Of false and pointless alibis
Were the sacred vows, spoke solemnly, yet did not speak the truth
Standing swirling
Is the dream that you once had
Who promises again faith everlasting
A baleful waking morning
Lurking around the door
Offering once more
A drink from a cup, that’s long since empty
You were still a young girl
But old enough to know
Even though you left that town
You could not get away
Intentions are the surest kind
Of deception, lying in the mind
And do not fit inside the lines, when drawn so ruthlessly
Standing swirling
Is the dream that you once had
But the hope of its return will soon be passing

Guys, this sounds like a 70s classic - wonder guitar, great wheezing organ. And the lyrics ...
Offering once more
A drink from a cup, that%u2019s long since empty
Soul-poetry gents. This slips and slides with wonderful melodies... welcome home, guys.
