Lyrics

In the morn ing light, let my roots take flight.

Watch me fall a bove, like a (CN.C.)vi cious dove.

They don’t see me come; who can blame them?

They nev er seem to catch my eye, but I’ve nev er won dered why.

(Am)I won’t fall a sleep.

(Am)I won’t fall a sleep.

Hey yeah;

don’t let ’em know we’re com ing.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

(Fmaj7)Take some time to sim mer down, keep your head down low.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

From your slant ed view, see the morn ing dew sink in to the soil; watch the (CN.C.)wa ter boil.

They won’t see me run; who can blame them?

They nev er look to see me fly, so I nev er had to lie.

(Am)I won’t fall a sleep.

(Am)I won’t fall a sleep.

Hey yeah;

don’t let ’em know we’re com ing.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

(Fmaj7)Take some time to sim mer down, keep your head down low.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

No bod y else,

no bod y else,

no bod y else can take me high er.

No bod y else can take me high er.

No bod y else can take me high er.

No bod y else.

Hey yeah;

don’t let ’em know we’re com ing.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

(Fmaj7)Take some time to sim mer down, keep your head down low.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

Hey yeah;

don’t let ’em know we’re com ing.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

(Fmaj7)Take some time to sim mer down, keep your head down low.

Hey yeah; tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.

tip (F5)toe (C5)high er.
