Rich,

I've been singing this gem off and on for years too. There isn't a clinker on the whole album. It goes from delightful to chilling, Jennifer's Rabbit and Now that I've Taken My Life. There are few songs that are as gripping as A Thousand Years.

Grat stuff, nice to find a Paxton fan out there.

It's a song I've been singing off and on for a very long time. First learned it off the "Morning Again" album, but it is also on "The Compleat Tom Paxton Live" and it is in the Tom Paxton Anthology book.

MORNING AGAIN

Tom Paxton (1968)

(A)Someone's morning begins,
The phone in the next apartment is ringing,
The (D) man upstairs in the shower is singing (A) loudly
Someone's morning begins
The shadows on his window are thinning
The (D) picture on his dresser is grinning (A) proudly.

CH:
(A7) Morning a(D)-gain, the sun is probably shin(A)-ing
Someone is (D) probably finding his (A)way.
(A7)Morning a(D)-gain, somebody else's (A)day.

Someone's morning begins,
The sound of his razor is humming and whirring,
And somebody under the blankets is stirring and talking
Someone's morning begins,
I think I hear him ordering dinner
His steps in the hall are the steps of a winner stalking.

CH:

BRIDGE:
Somebody (F#m) else is going for glory,
Someone (A) else is going far;
I'm (F#m) drinking my instant coffee
And wondering where you (E) are.

Someone's morning begins
And down on the pavement the traffic is roaring,
I make more coffee and catch myslef pouring one for you.
Someone's morning begins
The radio gives me advice with my dishes,
I'm tripping myself on the things that I wish I had done for you.

Looking for Tom Paxton's long out of print song, "Morning Again" - or more to the point, the lyrics to this song. I know most of them... just not in the correct order... and I've long since lost the LP it was on to a nasty flood in my basement 6 yrs ago.

Thanks.
