Jackson Browne - Someday Morning Lyrics






As the early morning filters through
My shuttered window pane
I look about and realize
That things are still the same

These flowers in a glass
Mark the hours that have passed
As I lay sleeping

And I can hear my footsteps ringing
Down the empty morning street
And the concrete that I walk upon
Is cold beneath my feet

A single winging dove
Reminds me of the sleeping love
That I am leaving

'Cause everyone must someday do his own thing
'Cause everyone must someday do his own thing
And I have a brand new song to sing

In the morning skies the stars
Begin to sputter and to fade
As the night surrenders all its claim
On shadows it has made

A watchdog's hungry bark
Is the morning's first remark
Upon my walking

And everyone must someday do his own thing
And everyone must someday do his own thing
And I have a brand new song to sing

And I'm told that if I try
That I can do most anything
Well then I would like to sing a song
And make this morning ring

As the morning turns to day
Hear the waking city say
Who is that singing

Jackson Browne Someday Morning Comments
  1. T.... A....

    You can hear Bob Dylan's influence in this song. How old was he?

  2. t.... ....

    "Hippe pukes."....I like his folkie stuff a lot.  If you listen to songs like "Did you try to reach me?"   Wow! beautiful imagery, rich in dimension.  He's a great and true poet.

  3. I.... L....

    Well, so he doesn't "do it" for you. Who cares.....

  4. A.... G....

    Everyone must do his own thing . . . Jackson was certainly doing his, this is how he became the amazing songwriter / singer / activist he is today. I like the way the lyrics are just slightly struggling, not quite easily flowing, despite showing promise of better things to come. They highlight Jackson's growth, and the fact he never gave up on himself. He is a living inspiration . . .
