This is the first song I ever wrote (when I was 17 years old in 1969). I recorded it in 1975 with a few musician friends.
Lyrics
I’m Leaving This Morning
I have brought you the mountains;
I have brought you the sea;
I have loved you in winter,
And see what you’ve done to me.
I brought you the rainbow
Heavy laden with its gold;
I warmed your body,
But your heart remained cold.
I’m leaving this morning,
My heart is paining,
The night is fading,
And yesterday must die.
I gave you the flower,
And it wilted in the sun;
I gave you the hours,
But now they are done.
Once I knew all the seasons,
Now they all seem the same;
Days come and go for no reason,
And no one dances in the rain.
I’m leaving this morning,
My heart is paining,
The night is fading,
And yesterday has died.
