Peacock and Crane

lyrics

I'm gonna wake up in the morning.
I'm gonna put on some coffee.
I'm gonna feed my dog, and throw open the shades.
I'm gonna let some light on in.

I'm gonna climb up onto the mountain
and take in the scenery.
I won't shout your name, or curse anything.
I'll just sit there patiently.

I'll carry my grief under my skin,
And I'll try to remember how lucky I've been.
I'm gonna walk down the lane.
I'll smile and wave.
I'll do all the things people do when they're really O.K.

I'm gonna go out in the evening
and I'm gonna order some whiskey.
I'm gonna do the same things that I do every day,
and, tomorrow, I'll begin again.

I'll carry my grief under my skin,
And I'll try to remember how lucky I've been.
I'm gonna walk down the lane.
I'm gonna peacock and crane.
I'll do all the things people do when they're really O.K.

And maybe, one fine morning, I'll wake up eagerly,
And all these parts that make up the man I seem to be will come naturally to me.
