Lyrics Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell

Morning Morgantown

When morning comes to Morgantown

The merchants roll their awnings down

The milktrucks make their morning rounds

In morning Morgantown

We'll rise up early, with the sun

To ride the bus while everyone is yawning

And the day is young

In morning Morgantown

Morning Morgantown

Buy your dreams a dollar down

Morning any town you name

Morning's just the same

We'll find a table in the shade

And sip our tea and lemonade

And watch the morning on parade

In morning Morgantown

Ladies in their rainbow fashions

Colored stop and go lights flashing

We'll wink at total strangers passing

In morning Morgantown

Morning Morgantown

Buy your dreams a dollar down

Morning any town you name

Morning's just the same

I'd like to buy you everything

A wooden bird with painted wings

A window full of colored rings

In morning Morgantown

But the only thing I have to give

To make you smile, to win you with

Are all the mornings still to live

In morning Morgantown
