Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
2. "Midnight's Another Day"
Brian Wilson/Scott Bennett
Lost my way
The sun grew dim
Stepped over grace
And stood in sin
Took the dive but couldn't swim
A flag without the wind
When there's no morning
Without you
There's only darkness
The whole day through
Took the diamond from my soul
And turned it back into coal
All these voices
All these memories
Made me feel like stone
All these people
Made me feel so alone
Lost in the dark
No shades of gray
Until I found
Midnight's another day
Swept away
In a brainstorm
Chapters missing
Pages torn
Waited too long
To feel the warmth
I had to chase the sun
All these voices
All these memories
Made me feel like stone
All these people
Made me feel so alone
Lost in the dark
No shades of gray
Until I found
Midnight's another day
