The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
The seven wonders of the world
Were broken and ready to fall
The king lay dying all alone
In sadness I'll always recall
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I had to feel good feeling good is all I need
You have to start with sad so good means what it means
And there's been lots of sad for me for me
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I think I've tumbled now at last
I guess there ain't nothing to choose
A fallen angel follows me
It looks like there's no time to lose
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
Breathing in the air feel the falling rain
