In The Real Early Morning

In the real early morning
With the sun slowly rising
I was walking out slowly
Wandering free (Wandering free)
When out in the distance
Over the valley
I saw an old friend
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me

She was a young girl
She was an old soul
As fair as the ocean
Timeless and free (Timeless and free)
She was my mother
She was my daughter
She was my lover
She was everything
An old friend could be (Old friend could be)

It's been such a long time (Been such a long time)
Since we have spoken (Since we have spoken)
There's so much to say to you
I want you to know
Wish you could tell me
All that you've seen here
We haven't got long now
For soon you'll be fading
And soon I must go

Woah, I know, I know
I know the way home

She said, "You are a soldier
You are a father
You are a wise man
You are a friend
You were my first love
I won't forget you
I'm walking beside you
I was here when you started
I'll be here 'til the end" (Here 'til the end)

And now it's the evening (Now it's the evening)
There's a moon slowly rising (Moon slowly rising)
There isn't much more than (There isn't much more than)
I wanted to know (I wanted to know)
And I am alone now
She isn't beside me no more
But I feel no sorrow
I'll come tomorrow
I'll be on my way home
I'll be on my way home
