I just heard this song on Saturday, thanks to Micca. When I hear it, it makes me want to face the wind and laugh in defiance. Horslips Rule!

KING OF MORNING, QUEEN OF DAY

With your face to the wind you're beginning
To think of a new life,
And you pull tight your cloak 'round your throat
And the wind seems to sing,
Though we're both on the run from a place in the sun
And it's raining,
And there's strangers and dangers and darkness
We're still going to win.
So don't you cry, don't you fear,
Wipe away each lonely tear.

If I were king of morning and you were queen of day,
We'd love all summer long together,
Love would find a way.
If I were king of evening and you were queen of night,
We'd pass the time in pleasure,
We'd love until the morning light.
If I were king of pleasure and you were queen of pain
You would love me.

As the rain starts to fall, I recall how it was
In the good times,
When the sun seemed to shine
And the wine was a gift from above,
But I know that the day's on the way
And it's bringing the sunshine,
So sing me a song, make it long,
make it all about love.
