When the sun first strikes the trees
Now my mornings are for wondering
I sing, I O, I I I I I I O, I O
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
Of a girl I had to hold
She never told me why she left me
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
You know I love getting up in the morning
All the morning birds that sing above
But she went back down the river
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
But the letter said goodbye
Just when I thought I could be strong
When the rights I did were wrong
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
Still bring back memories
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
Of a girl who stood beside me
I sing, I O, I I I I I I O, I O
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
But she went back down the river
And my nights to reason why
Just when I thought I could be strong
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
