MORNING GLORY
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1986


Pretty faces everywhere  
A few hard cases stop and stare
They've got charm that is not right
Pretty faces late at night.

Morning Glory what's the story, will it ever end
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again.

I remember our old rendezvous  
The key was kept inside a shoe
Those moments will remain frozen in time  
Morning Glory's on my mind.

What's the story Morning Glory, will it ever end
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again.

It seems like only yesterday
She married me and carried me away
I found out what life was all about
Morning Glory threw me out.

Hey Morning Glory what's the story, will it ever end
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again.

Alimony, palimony, puts a dent in me
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
For a dip in the shining sea
A dip in the shining sea.

Pretty faces everywhere
A few hard cases stop and stare
Even when I know it ain't my day
A lot of good faces anyway.

Morning Glory what's that story, what is it to be
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
For a dip in the shining sea,
A dip in the shining sea.

What's the story Morning Glory, will it ever end
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again.

And Morning Glory what's the story, will it ever end
I've been all the way to Biscayne Bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again.
