lyrics

Mama wakes up it's morning
Pours cold water and hot coffee
Hopes open blinds offer up sunshine
Daddy yawns and stretches deep
Slowly peels away his mask of sleep
Each asks the other if they slept fine
And the day gets underway
Horses flying outta the gate
Never early never late always on time
And the day gets underway
Only says what it's gotta say
Starts like a bad mood stops on a dime

Mama lays hands on the people
Helps lightning hit the steeple
Tunes out tinkling bells and tallies tips
Daddy sifts signals from static
Breathes tweets and exhales panic
Keeps pace at a hundred-fifty-word clip
And the day goes round the bend
Horses flying world without end
Never early never late always on time
And the day cools on its dish
Nobody grants a solitary wish
Not getting what you want is the crime

Mama deserves better weather
Her love keeps this house together
Warmer days ahead won’t be much comfort
Daddy takes pretty photographs
Reflects her laughs in between tasks
Hits playback before bedtime like a concert
And the day draws to a close
Horses flying win or lose by a nose
Never early never late always on time
And the day fades into the past
Sleep comes slow darkness fast
History repeats but it’d really rather rhyme
Listen long enough for a bell and it will chime
