She's begging me to stay, but my mind's already made Guess I'll try my luck downtown I'm feening for a drink that will lead me to believe that this bar is all I need See, I'm too old to dream, but still too young to sleep I've grown tired of counting sheep I'll be back before the sunrise Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright I'll be back before a bird cries By the time you wake, I'll be by your side So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time I'll be back by the morning time It's half past 10, and I'm grinning like a kid that's playing with his fate The old man in the corner, he's been picking just for quarters Telling stories that you couldn't fake From whiskey breath talking all to crooked line walking We ain't leaving till the windows turn gray I'll be back before the sunrise Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright I'll be back before a bird cries By the time you wake, I'll be by your side So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time I'll be back by the morning time I'll be back by the morning time
