Subject: Lyr Add: MORNING INFORMS (Vin Garbutt)
You can see and hear Vin Garbutt performing MORNING INFORMS at YouTube. I listened, and I could barely understand a word!

Fortunately, there's a video of someone else singing the song. From him, I was able to get these words:


MORNING INFORMS
Vin Garbutt

CHORUS: Gone, gone in the wink of an eye,
Swore to be one till we should die,
Night has replaced the light in your eye,
And morning informs on my dreaming.

1. I should have listened to your sad complaint.
My voice was loud; yours was so faint.
I thought on lines of new coat of paint
When our love was needing repairing.

2. Jimmy, our son, he puts on a brave face,
But I hear him crying for one more embrace.
Jane's been so quiet since you left this place,
Afraid she'd a part in your going.

3. I've learned my lesson; guilt falls like rain.
Storm clouds will linger till you ease the pain.
We need you so much; won't you come home again?
The door's been unlocked since your going.

4. The night hears me praying; what more can I do?
The pillow we shared is often wet through.
When lights cross the curtains, I think: is that you?
But then morning informs on my dreaming.
