Lyrics The Walkabouts

The Walkabouts

Have You Ever Seen the Morning?

I tried to catch the bus

out towards your place

but the bus never came

so I started walkin'

past Mission Mall

no one walks, out past there, anymore

and when I got back home

there was no note

cigarette, still burnin' on the stoop

turned into the wind

pulled up my hood

got on the bus, as the doors shut for good

Have you ever seen the mornin?

well it's quite naked

and stoned

Have you ever seen the mornin?

twirl it's hands

and fall into the light

We shoulda called the cops

just to scare him

but now who really cares?

still, he shook, our last dime

I ain't grandstandin'

my pockets echo in the night

remember that trip, out west?

to your sisters. We got high and

watched the stars

we laid out, in her backyard

she touched my hand

said: I'm gonna love you, when your dead
