When the sun in early morning 

Dies in sorrow and quietly fades 

Before they once more own us 

Before the world invades 

Before we are born again 

And the sun burns away our sins 

Misty morning 

Misty morning 

Don’t let the cold world come back in

 

I ran so hard at twenty, ain’t that the truth 

I smoked and toked, 

And I drank blood red wine 

And I tasted sweet cream and ripe peaches 

Touched the lips of girls divine 

From evening to darkest nightmare 

From moonlight to break of day 

It was always you 

Misty morning 

Misty morning 

It was you 

​

Foolish dreams that wrapped me in a sweet embrace, 

Every year I chased and I chased 

But those dreams that the grifters sold me 

Seem only now as a waste 

And I look in the rear-view mirror 

Of my roadster, dark racing green, 

I see a hungry loner 

Just tryin’ to make with the scene 

​

But it was when I lost the good one 

The one who could never die 

It was then the night broke open 

And I feared the morning sky 

Then t’was you who saved me from falling 

Who touched my tortured soul 

You gave me a misty morning 

Finally made me whole 

​

Misty morning 

Misty morning 

Misty morning 

I needed your lovin’ caress 

Like a mother and child 

In a communion dress 

​

Misty morning 

White like Jesus’ wafer 

And gentle as a dove 

Misty morning 

​

Carry me to heaven on the wings of your love 

Carry me to heaven on the wings of your love 

Carry me to heaven on the wings of your love 

​

Misty morning 

It was you
