Around five this morning, I could no longer sleep. I got up and went outside.
A touch of fall is in the air, this morning. The air is chill. The first leaves were starting to fall off the trees. People were wearing hooded sweatshirts.
And now, at this moment, the coffee is delicious.
The day is just starting, full of potential yet somehow a little sad.
Jack Gets Up from Leo Kottke’s My Father’s Face is playing in the house.
From it:
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed
And you crawl out of bed and you crawl out of bed
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed
And you look at the moon where the window is
And the stars shine, and the stars shine, and the stars shine
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed
… … …
Santa Claus modified snow peas
On the sun roofs, on the sun roofs, on the sun roofs
So we’re all asleep in the same dream
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bedIf you look in the mirror it’s your father’s face
And the thin grin, and the thin grin, and the thin grin
It’s Santa Claus pulling up snow peas
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bedAnd there’s tears in the bank and the credit card
In the back yard, in the back yard, in the back yard
If you look in the mirror it’s your father’s face
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bedAnd once in a while when the wind blows
And the heart winds, and the heart winds, and the heart winds
There’s tears in the bank and a credit card
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed
