lyrics

Blessed Morning
Words by Tin Ujevic/music by John Kruth

Blessed morning you cascade
Roaring light falls in this room
How can pain make me afraid?
Dead already in my tomb

Well perhaps you can ignite
Buried sparks from ash and dust
Since the lilac and the light
Stills well longing in your breast

And when I lift your veil you show
Lines of quiet forms of grace
In shelves of books, row upon row
The whole room’s careworn face

Yet there’s something still I miss
From this crib without a cross
A smile on my darling’s lips
A kiss of flowers in a water glass

Blessed morning while you dress
Dress this room in your translucent robe
I have no fear now of death’s caress
Just give some love back to this Job
