B7
Morningside
E
The old man died
B7
And no one cried
E
They simply turned away
A
And when he died
E
He left a table made of nails and pride
B7
And with his hands he carved these words inside
E
"For my children"
B7
Morning light
E
Morning bright
B7
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
A
Morning time
E
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words the old man signed
"For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children sat around this table
Touched with their laughter
Ah, and that was good
Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitath
"For my children"
