"On A Winter's Morning" lyrics

"On A Winter's Morning"

On a winter's morning
At the break of day
The wife woke up
And threw a smile my way
Not a word was said
As we both lay in bed
Beneath the cold air
Time stood still there

It might be nothing
It might be just enough
You might feel low down
But you might be in love
It ain't easy
But you know it's not that hard
And it's all going on
In your own backyard

Babies sleeping
Without a care
The cows are bellowing
The horse runs everywhere
The sun is rising
In the window's glass
And I thank the good Lord
For the view I have

It might be nothing
It might be just enough
You might feel low down
But you might be in love
It ain't easy
But you know it's not that hard
And it's all going on
In your own backyard

It's a great big city
But it's a tiny world
The Mona Lisa
She's just a good ol' country girl
And the Queen of England
She's just a grandma too
She's not so different from me
And you

And it might be nothing
And it might be just enough
You might feel low down
But you might be in love
Well it ain't easy
But you know it's not that hard
And it's all going on
In your own backyard

And it might be nothing
And it might be just enough
You might feel low down
But you might be in love
Well it ain't easy
But you know it's not that hard
It's all going on
In your own backyard
