Meet me in the morning
56th and Wabasha
Um, meet me in the morning, yes
56th and Wabasha, eh

Honey, we could be in Kansas
By time the snow begins to thaw

They say the darkest hour, eh
Comes a-right before the dawn
They say that the darkest hour, baby
Come right, eh, right before the dawn

Ah, you wouldn't know it by me, sugar
Every day's been darkness since you been gone
Since you been gone

I hear the rooster when it's crowing
Must be something on his mind
I hear the rooster when it's crowing
Must be something on his mind
Um, something on his mind

And I feel just like that rooster
Every time you treat me so
You treat me so unkind

Treat me, baby

Oh, I struggled through barbed wire
And I felt the hail when it fell all from up above
I struggled through barbed wire
And felt the hail, ooh, when it fell from up above

I even outran a hound dog, baby
Don't you think that I've earned your love?
Earned your love

Look at the sun, oh, yeah
Ooh, when it's sinking like a ship
Like a ship, like a ship, like a ship
Look at the sun, at the sun, at the sun, baby
When it's sinking, sinking like a ship

Ain't it just like my heart, babe
Every time you kiss my lips
Every time that you kiss my lips
