Lyrics:Neil Diamond Music:Neil Diamond | |
Morningside | |
The old man died | |
And no one cried | |
They simply turned away | |
And when he died | |
He left a table made of nails and pride | |
And with his hands, he carved these words inside | |
'For my childen' | |
Morning light | |
Morning bright | |
I spent the night | |
With dreams that make you weep | |
Morning time | |
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine | |
For I recall the words an old man signed | |
'For my children' | |
And the legs were shaped with his hands | |
And the top made of oaken wood | |
And the children that sat around his table | |
Touched it 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 children would claim | |
the gift he had | |
The words he carved | |
became his epitaph | |
'For my children' |
